The Pop House

Constantine ´s house, perched on top of a hill is a true gem! Staying there allows you to connect with the incredible surrounding nature, the amazing view, the sunsets, scents and light. The house is very comfortable and functional, modern and well-equipped.

The house is excellent, very well equipped and with a stunning view. I thought 10 days were too long stay, but the island has much to offer. Is full of terrain roads but it's not worth to rent 4x4, a regular car is enough.

Great (!!!) house with the most beatiful view, great host, great island, great weather.. We (3 girls) had a perfect week and would go there any time again! Thanks so much for all the help in advance with the ferries etc.!

We enjoyed our 7 nights stay at this house a lot. Kea is a little gem - not too much tourists, very friendly people, good food and fantastic surroundings. Constantine was replying quickly before our arrival and Kiki did a great job in introducing the house and Kea in general. For any kind of questions she was available. The streets on the island are a little adventure in the beginning but we got used to it quite quickly. All in all we had a fantastic time!

If you are seeking the best view on the Aegean then you are right here! The sunset is as gorgeous as in Santorini but without the soundtrack of Wagner´s The Ride of the Valkyries. The place is located way up in the hills and can be reached via winding asphalted and dirt roads. Don´t come with your Lamborghini! Our record from the harbor was 11 minutes with a normal car. Very quiet, very peaceful up there. The house is spacious and tastily furnished. Maybe some shelves in the bathrooms, additional towels and a toaster could be great supplements. The host Costas is very kind, humorous, communicative and caring. Thanks for hosting us!

We stayed at the Pop House for 11 days with our friends and kids (4 adults + 3 kids). The view is indeed spectacular and doesn't get old even after 10 days. The house itself is very clean, spacious, nicely furnished and has all the necessary amenities (washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen utensils etc.), the beds are very comfortable. One thing to note - if you are traveling with toddlers - you will need to watch the kids closely inside and outside. Inside the stairs are quite steep and we decided not to use the mezzanine at all because it seemed to risky with the children (still there was enough space for the 7 of us in the other areas). Outside - the house is on a hillside and the fence on the upper terrace is quite low so the kids could fall down if they are not careful. That said, in the end it was not too much of a hassle given that in return you get the magnificent views and a great house. And if you are traveling without small kids, then you will simply love it. The house is quite close to 2 main towns on Kea and the road to get there is mostly paved. We had 2-wheel-drive cars and could drive it even during and after 2 days of heavy rain, when some of the other roads on the island became quite challenging. We spent most days on Xyla beach which is ca. 15 mins drive. As for the island of Kea - we were surprised to see that in the 2nd half of Sep there were practically no tourists: we had the beaches almost all to ourselves (and chairs and umbrellas for free) but also most restaurants were pretty empty. And it really is off the beaten tourist path, in a good way - no big resorts, not many souvenir shops; it was actually challenging to buy a postcard! Finally, Constantine was very kind and responsive (and I did ask him a ton of questions before arriving and during our stay).

Constantine's English (and German) is perfect, he picked us up from the port and provided us with tons of helpful information. Excellent host!

This is a place for shedding the stresses of work and life. The vistas are grand and awe-inspiring; the sunsets fill the soul. It's literally at the end of the road, sitting on a ridge with six other houses on one side, but it's the highest and the last so plenty private. I spent a few days here with my wife and 6-month old. We came stressed and we left rejuvenated. We also entertained up to eight other adults and kids overnight on short rotations. The house itself is beautiful, functional and fully-equipped, particularly the kitchen. There are beds for six people in two rooms and a loft and there are three other beds/sleeping couches that can accommodate more. (A baby bed was provided on request.) Kea itself is off the beaten path in terms of tourists. We enjoyed the green of spring, but it's generally fairly dry. There are some nice beaches and they can all be found within a maximum of 30 minutes from the house. Don't miss the great Greek food at any of a number of restaurants and cafes. This is an island and house for escaping the rat race of life and slowing way down. It's a place to read books (or write them), meditate and invest in those important relationships with people you love. Constantine is a fabulous host. Funny and irreverent, he worked overtime to keep us happy and knew all the necessary details about the island. If this is what you're looking for, look no further! Highly, highly recommended.
