Matt's Pick! The Red Tractor Farm Guesthouse

Red Tractor farm GuesthouseUnless they are fully booked look no further than the Red Tractor Farm, a family run guesthouse in the valley of Korissia just a few steps from the beach. There are three separate two-story houses, each beautifully designed for the utmost comfort and practicality of their guests.  Each house has a living room upstairs with a slightly raised sleeping platform as well as a desk and access to wireless high speed Internet connection. There is a shower/w.c upstairs as well as down-stairs. Downstairs there is an additional bedroom with 2 single beds or 1 double according to your needs. All stairways are child-safe with doors and half-doors on either end. Natural light is a key feature of the design indoors as well as outdoors. There are shady seating and lounging areas on both levels as well as sunny spots for sunbathing. It is possible to rent one floor only of a guesthouse, when available.

Red Tractor Farm is located at the edge of the port village of Korissia. The port beach is at the end of the road and a second sandy beach, Yialiskari, is less than a 10 minute walk from the guesthouse. Both beaches have clear water and are very safe for children. The port of Korissia is pedestrian only in the evening where there are tavernas, cafes, bakeries, food markets and a couple of bars. The guesthouse is run by Kostis Marulis who also does Walking Tours of Kea and takes guests for sailing trips around Kea in his boat Soultana. His wife Marcie is a native Californian and has been living in Greece since 1984. She was a restauranteur, interior designer and Art teacher in Athens. In her spare time she paints, sculpts and makes mosaics - all incorporated into Red Tractor Farm seminars that  include guest artists. Marcie enjoys working with children and regularly schedules weekend Art Workshops for kids.

Red Tractor Guesthouse is open year round.

Cavo Perlevos Apartments in Otzias

This would be my first choice in Otzias. These apartments have a kitchen, bathroom, telephone and TV and this one in the photo is actually built around a cave. The closest rooms to the sea and the two excellent tavernas.


This is the living room built into the rock face of the hill. You can book through Fantasy Travel by filling out their booking info request form.


Kea, Greece: Hotel Porto Kea The Hotel Porto Kea Suites opened in the summer of 2005 and is in a category all its own when it comes to accommodation in Kea.

Kea house viewIsabella's House: This is a special house with a spectacular view in the middle of the historic town of Ioulida, the capital of Kea. Owned by a famous writer and decorated in the traditional Greek style, the historic house which is built cave style into the mountainside, overlooks the main square and features a view of the Cavo d Oro with ships passing by continuously. You can actually see all the way to Athens on a clear day. The house is ideal for a couple or a family on holiday and even better if you are a writer, artist or photographer like Peter Poulides who took these photos when he came here with his family. The village is closed to automobile traffic so safe for children who only have to worry about donkeys. Besides the large balcony there is a shaded courtyard that is completely private. Of course there is a full kitchen sleeping rooms as well as sitting rooms where someone can sleep. Steps away from the famous Rolando's Cafe, one of the best fish restaurants in Greece. If you still need more convincing you can click on the above photos to see them full size. You can also get free wireless internet from the town hall across the street.
