Selini is situated on the east coast of the island, nestled on the top of a hill next to a wild canyon, overlooking the blue sea and eleven other islands: Andros, Tinos, Giaros, Siros, Mykonos, Serifos, Siphnοs, Kithnos, even Paros and Naxos and Evia in the far left.
Its architecture was based on the positive energy aesthetics of Feng Shui which insure hospitality to the guest along with sensations of peace, pleasure and a union with nature.
The view from the terraces is staggering. The eye relaxes in the never ending blue horizon, that liberates both the mind and the soul. Thanks to the constant boat crossing in the sea roads stretching ahead, the visitor enjoys an ongoing seascape. Images from the ancient galleys deluge the imagination, since the same route was followed by those who conquered Troy. Just like the vivid, endless starry sky, especially on full moon nights, which nostalgically incarnate the poetic inspirations of Sappho.
Two of Kea’s best beaches, Sikamia and Kalidonihi, with their crystalline waters and Cycladic stone lapped by the sea, are very easily accessible.
Selini hosts up to 25 guests and is recommended for those who desire a nature-accented, spiritual and/or romantic getaway in a homey private setting away from city noise and rat race. It is also an ideal gathering place for families and groups of friends who want to celebrate an important event or just relax in an atmosphere of absolute privacy.
Alf can be rented separately (except for July and August), since it is composed of 5 self contained units that constitute 5 independent residences: Selini, Earth, Sky, Pomegranates and Rocks.
At Villa Selini, you will experience a sensational interaction with the nature of Kea, an island of wild, untamed beauty, steeped in Greek mythology, that is both so far and so near. Kea is only one hour by ferry from the port of Lavrion just a short drive south from Athen’s Eleftherios Venizelos Airport.

About the area
Kea, also known as Tzia, is a serene and picturesque island in the Cyclades archipelago of Greece. It's a hidden gem that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of more tourist-heavy Greek islands. With its proximity to Athens, it's an ideal destination for both short getaways and extended stays.
The island's landscape is a harmonious blend of rugged hills, verdant valleys, and idyllic beaches. Kea's coastline is dotted with sandy coves and clear blue waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. The island's most famous beach, Otzias, is a family-friendly spot with shallow waters and tamarisk trees providing natural shade.
Kea's charm also lies in its rich history and culture. The ancient city of Karthea, with its impressive temple ruins and theater, offers a glimpse into the island's storied past. The Archaeological Museum of Kea in Ioulida, the island's capital, further showcases artifacts that span millennia, from the Cycladic to the Roman era.
Ioulida itself is a delight to explore, with its narrow, winding streets, traditional stone houses, and the iconic stone Lion of Kea, a mysterious, ancient sculpture carved into the rock. The town's elevated position provides stunning panoramic views of the island and the Aegean Sea.
For hikers and nature enthusiasts, Kea boasts a network of well-marked trails that crisscross the island, leading through olive groves, past ancient ruins, and into the heart of its unspoiled natural beauty. The paths offer varying levels of difficulty, ensuring that everyone from casual walkers to experienced trekkers can find a route to suit their abilities.
Gastronomy on Kea is a highlight, with local tavernas serving up traditional Greek dishes made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The island is particularly known for its honey and almond treats, which are a must-try for any visitor.
Kea also hosts a variety of cultural events throughout the year, including summer festivals that celebrate music, dance, and local customs, providing travelers with an authentic taste of Greek island life.
In essence, Kea is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's a place where one can easily slip into the slow rhythm of island life and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
