About the property

Inside

accommodation at Evanne is spread over three separate levels, each one linked by external staircases and terraces.

In classic contemporary Kea style, geometric walls in local grey-and-tan stone alternate with sections of smooth concrete. Together they frame large picture windows and wide sliding glass doors that make the most of the views and allow for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A palette of muted natural colours - greys, tans, blacks and whites - provides an ordered, minimalistic backdrop for quality fittings, furnishings and fixtures, and the ambience throughout is one of understated luxury, calm and poise.

Accommodation on the highest of Evanne's three levels is mostly given over to a spacious suite with double bed, a sitting area, a kitchen and an en-suite shower room. A triptych of windows looks out to Vourkari Bay and the Aegean Sea, and a door opens out onto the pool terrace.

Next door to this suite is the pool bar, a changing room and a WC.

The middle level at Evanne is the hub of the home. A door opens in from a sea-view Jacuzzi terrace to a hallway, off which one may access three bedrooms:
  • a sea-view double with a wall of sliding glass doors opening out on to the terrace, and an en-suite shower room
  • two more doubles, each with an en-suite shower room and sliding glass doors opening onto a secluded terrace
Back in the hallway, a few steps lead down into a bright, generously sized open-concept space divided into three sections. To the right is the well-equipped contemporary kitchen, in the centre is a dining table, and to the left is a sitting area, furnished with a designer L-shaped sofa and armchair. Wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows bring in the fabulous sea and coastal views and open out onto a long terrace.

The lower level at Evanne is home to two more bedrooms - a double and a double-twin. Each of these rooms is accessed independently via sliding glass doors from a sea-view terrace, and each one comes with its own en-suite shower room and kitchen corner.

Outside

the al fresco areas of Evanne mirror the interiors, in that they're spread over three levels. Stairs and paths weave between the various terraces and there's lots of space for guests to spread out.

The top level is home to the lovely infinity pool, with its gorgeous views out over Vourkari Bay. Served by a shaded sitting area, a bar and a shower room with WC, this is a great spot in which to unwind during the day and enjoy aperitifs and after-dinner drinks.

The middle terrace is home to the main al fresco dining area, a shady convivial spot, and a large Jacuzzi. Both look out over Vourkari Bay and the sea. On the same level, but on the other side of the house (accessed from the living area) is a secluded dining terrace with large in-built barbecue and wood-burning oven. When the meltemi wind blows, there's no better place to be for lazy lunches and dinners.

Finally, the three bedrooms on the lowest level all open out onto yet another sea-view terraced, furnished for lounging and gazing out at the magnetic views.

About the Area

Evanne sits in a panoramic position above the cosmopolitan village of Vourkari, whose beach, seafront tavernas and bars and little marina are just over a 10-minute walk away.

Kea is the closest Cycladic island to Athens, so it is relatively easy to reach. This proximity also makes it popular with residents of Greece’s capital, many of whom have chosen the island for their holiday homes. They are also drawn by the many fabulous beaches and the charming scenery, much of which, especially around the coast, is planted with vines and fruit trees. In the rolling hills of the centre, meanwhile, one will find ancient mule tracks, monasteries, fascinating rock formations and windmills.

Most visitors arrive at the port of Korissia, which is just 2.5km from Evanne. It is a picturesque little town with small shops, cafés and tavernas dotted along its narrow streets. In the island’s interior is the historical capital, Ioulis, a fascinating place to explore, with pretty streets, an archaeological museum, houses tumbling down a hillside and a good selection of shops, bars and tavernas.

There is an embarrassment of choice when it comes to beaches, and, apart from the beach of Vourkari below the house, guests staying at Evanne can quickly reach several others, including those of Tris Amoudia, Otzias, Gialiskari and Korissia. The beaches on the east, west and south coasts are most easily accessible by boat, and we warmly recommend you hire one for a day or two, if not for your whole stay.

For those interested in history, a visit to the archaeological site of Karthaia, which dates back to the 8th century BCE, is a must. There, perched above the sea in a striking setting, are the remains of a theatre, a Doric temple dedicated to Pythian Apollo and various other ruins.

Considerations

As this villa is located on an island, we recommend extra caution when booking your flights to avoid problems or delays with ferries and hydrofoils. It may be advisable to arrive a day earlier and depart a day later. Please contact us for any information or advice.

Evanne features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

The number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and/or around this property might make it unsuitable for people with mobility problems.

Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.
