Kea is a Cycladic Island located a mere one hour off the coast of Southern Athens. Getting there is a piece of cake, just arrive Athens International Airport and catch a 20 minute cab ride to the port of Lavrio. From the port, it is a scenic 1 hour and 10 minutes by ferry, to the world's quintessential family island. Kea is the ideal getaway for parents, kids, and overworked souls craving for some peace of mind (aren't we all?). If you seek culture, crystal clear waters, culinary experiences, ancient walking trails, and soothing sunsets, then Kea is the place to be. Just sit back in your chaise longue, sip a bit of wine, enjoy the views, and let the wind and salt take care of the rest … Oh, and safety? The last violent incident on Kea was recorded some time circa 1100 BC, when the lion of Kea chased after some nymphs, who managed to escape to the nearby isle of Euboea. Who are we? We are folks just like you, homeowners - local and out-of-town - who have pooled our resources and expertise to promote our island and to host our guests in houses where real people live and vacation. We set the bar high, and no request is considered “too much”. We treat our guests just the way we and our families crave to be treated when we're traveling. Kea Family Homes offers a variety of houses, for all purses, and is periodically enriched by new exciting offerings.
