Photographer's Pool

This is a gorgeous get away from it all property with magnificent views across the island and the sea. The sunsets each night are magnificent. Kea is an unspoilt island just a one hour ferry ride from Lavrio - a port within easy reach of Athens airport. The island is verdant and when we went in May was fecund with wild flowers, butterflies, honey bees humming in the lavender surrounding the house, accompanied by chattering swallows and the tinkling bells of distant goat herds. It really is an idyllic location. One is the loveliest we have seen in Greece after 25 years of visiting. Alfredos and his father designed and built a row of very private houses and pretty gardens on this remote mountain top. The Photographer’s House has been thoughtfully built with everything inside a guest night want. Everything clean and comfortable - just as the photos portray. Alfredos is very helpful and kind. He communicated with us each step of the booking process and also during our stay about anything we needed to ask. We had breakfast each day on the terrace admiring the spectacular view and enjoying the birdsong. We found good tavernas down the hill and there are some lovely beaches. The sea is azure and inviting. Accessing the property is not for the faint hearted - a 15 minute drive from the port up the mountain traversing mostly dirt roads. Once we were used to the route it was fine. Kea has some decent roads around the island but also many dirt roads to get to beaches and ancient archeological sites of interest. Next time we would consider a four wheel drive car hire. We hired our car on the island and got excellent service. We recommend The Photographer’s House with warm hearts and happy memories.

Stunning house with a 1,000,000 $ view on the sea - fully oriented West - so dream time each evening for the sunset. The Property is brand new with a kitchen fully equipped, a plunge pool perfect for getting fresh and two extraodinary terrace with a 180° panoramic view.
