Koundouros bay on Kea seen from the hillside

Koundouros, Kea

Veneterra

On a quiet hillside above Koundouros bay, on the closest Cycladic island to Athens, two private houses are built from the island itself: local stone, natural plaster, oak and linen. Each has its own pool and its own view of the Aegean.

In Greek, áno means above and káto means below. Veneterra Ano sits higher on the hill, Veneterra Kato lower toward the sea.

Open from March to October.

Getting Here

An hour from Athens, a world away

Kea is the closest Cycladic island to Athens, reached by ferry from the port of Lavrio. Veneterra is in Koundouros, on the island's quiet west coast, a short walk from the beach.

“A spectacular villa in a beautiful location, just a short walk from the beach. Everything felt brand new, thoughtfully designed and exceptionally comfortable.”

Christopher, USA

“An amazing place with stunning sea views and generous spaces, perfect for families or friends. Enjoying sunsets by the pool made our stay truly memorable.”
