12 great days in kea
My fiancée and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Green Almond House on kea. The island itself has beautiful beaches, friendly inhabitants and some great restaurants and bars. The ferry to Kea from the main land is easy to organise and the house itself is only 20 - 25 minutes from the main port in Korrissia. You definitely need to rent a car to visit the island as the house is quite remote.
Geraldine and George were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome and relaxed during our stay. Not only did they make us a delicious breakfast every morning, using fresh produce from their farm but they also helped us plan trips, advised us on places to go and also invited us into their home for a traditional Greek dinner - which was excellent.
The house itself is beautiful and different to anything we have stayed in before. Geraldine has created a space that is private, relaxing and a pleasure to stay in. The house is only 100 metres from the beautiful beach at Spathi, which has crystal blue sea, lovely sand and was very quiet. It also has a great beach bar that serves food and drinks.
A holiday to the Green Almond House is perfect for a couple who are looking to relax and spend time walking, discovering beaches and experiencing the traditional Greek way of life. It is not a party holiday and if you are looking for that then maybe another of the Greek islands would be more suited. A tip for anyone thinking of staying would be to rent a 4x4 during your stay as the road to Spathi is very rough and is hard in a normal car.
We couldn't recommend Kea and the Green Almond House enough! 5 out of 5.
