The Secret Greek Island
Well known to the locals and probably one of the most unexplored of the islands is Kea. Just 30 minutes from Athens rugged in parts it feels somewhat cut off and home to untouched Greek traditions. Offering a slower pace of life than most of the Cycladic islands but still with the charm.
The newest of hotels to join the island of Kea is the all villa resort of One & Only - Kea Island. Private Infinity Pools, Contemporary Greek Cuisine and unimaginable views of the Aegean. The hotel is the epitome of the magic of Kea and its traditions in an ultra luxury form.
Ioulida is the capital of Kea, and it is a place where time stands still. Meandering through cobbled streets making your way through the town and surrounded by Bougainvillaea spilling over white washed walls.
One & Only Kea Islands, Bond Beach Club offers a luxurious shorefront culinary destination, buzzy atmosphere, fresh Mediterranean ingredients with some wordly influences set on a sun soaked gorgeous sandy beach.
If a taste of tradition is what you are looking for a local favourite restaurant is O Paparounas which is local and untouched with perfect views over the village of Ioulis a mixture of traditional dishes of anchovies, red mullet and alongside Kea Meats.
Looking for the perfect setting with whitewashed seating and a backdrop of layers of rolling hills. Where the food flows from the kitchen and wine is freely poured, honey braised octopus, black sea urchin tagliolini and seafood saganaki, are some of the simple yet wonderful dishes on the menu, Cousteau All-Bay Stories is a must located in Vourkari
Just steps from the waters edge is Eora Beach Bar & Restaurant is a little pocket of elevated luxury. Rustic woven roof top and classic mid century greek decor, fresh seafood, sharing plates and simple cocktails and lots of local wine all can be found Gialiskari
