Now that's what we call a view. Overlooking the village of Vourkari and the Aegean Sea, the terrace makes the perfect perch for a morning coffee or a glass of wine. You'll love watching the mainland-bound ferries glide by – and the sunsets here are stunning. Inside certainly doesn't possess the same wow factor – in fairness, it's hard to beat those postcard-worthy panoramas – but we think the fuss-free space will do the job for a family or a small group of friends seeking a relaxing retreat. Moreover, private parking makes exploring Kea a breeze – if you can pull yourself away from the views, that is.
