Location:

Villa Kyrene sits perched on a hilltop on the north end of Kea, a stunning Greek island within the Cyclades chain.

Rolling vineyards, verdant valleys, and secluded coves lie peppered throughout the picturesque region. This seldom-explored slice of paradise has escaped the pitfalls of mass tourism—you’ll feel like you’ve got the joint to yourself.

There’s no airport on Kea, so come prepared to arrive by boat via Athens. If you’d rather get there in style, the villa has its own private helipad.

Property:

The spacious five-bedroom property spans 500m2 over two storeys, ample space to host 10 guests. Most rooms have a moody en-suite bathroom, and some open out onto the garden.

Warm neutral hues complete the overarching whitewashed theme, while elements like stone brick walls and rattan ropes add a rustic touch.

In the open-plan living room, a crackling fireplace and an elegant 12-seat dining set give cause to spend time indoors.

There’s a well-equipped kitchen, although most guests prefer to use the in-house catering team. Let the dedicated butler service provide you with gourmet delights or coordinate anything from private massages to tennis lessons and sailing excursions.

Pool & Facilities:

Villa Kyrene has an impressive selection of facilities, the best of which is its spectacular outdoor infinity pool.

A tennis court and table tennis table are available should you fancy practising your swing. The kids (and young at heart) will love the second-floor games room, which comes with consoles, a huge TV, and a DJ booth.

Need to de-stress? There’s a soothing steam bath and a private massage room downstairs.

Beach Info:

Sikamia is the nearest beach, located a quick 4km drive away.
