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.
