Step through an archway of silver-sheened olive trees and vine leaves to reach this peaceful home on the unspoiled island of Kea. Perched above the Panagia Kastriani Monastery, the five-bedroom villa enjoys exquisite views of the ancient structure and the hazy sea beyond. You'll feel the revitalising embrace of this home as soon as you enter – the calming palette of off-white and sage green compliments rather than competes with the beautiful surroundings. Characterful furniture sets the space apart (we're looking at the artist's easel, in particular), while painted wooden beams nod to traditional Grecian homes. The island's main town, Ioulida, is a short drive away. Here, you'll find a sprinkle of colourful buildings clustered on the side of a hill. Make sure you visit the Lion of Kea, an archaic sculpture that's shrouded in mystery. The smiling animal is thought to make reference to Kea's mythology, but its exact meaning and creator remain unknown.

About Kea
Considered by some as the gateway to the Cyclades, Kea is the closest inhabited island of this idyllic archipelago to Athens. Yet, it remains largely undiscovered. Those who stop by are treated to quiet sandy beaches on the crystal Aegean, a dramatically hilly landscape hiding quaint towns, and ancient archaeology. While some of the beaches have a scattering of loungers and umbrellas, the island is largely untouched by tourism so...
