Traditional windmill+miller's house

A Mediterranean-style authentic windmill and the miller's house is available to take you back in time! The late 19th century stone constructions have been recently renovated to a very high standard and offer breathtaking views over the island. This is the only original windmill in the capital of Ioulida that has been renovated to its original form. It stands on a hilltop at 430m above sea level and offers awe-inspiring views over the island. The buildings date to the late 19th century and have been entirely built with stone providing, through natural ventilation, a pleasant atmosphere during hot days. The windmill is a round structure with two bedrooms, a laptop friendly workspace and a living room with a kitchen. The living room includes two sofas (one opens into a double-bed). A TV set is available in the living room. The miller's house contains a bedroom, a living room with a sofa-bed and a single bed, a kitchen and a bathroom. Another TV set is also available. Between the two buildings a pergola with a stone table allows a group of 8 + to enjoy breakfasts, lunches and dinners. *** UPDATE July 2017: High-speed unlimited Wifi has been installed *** The island of Kea is accessible through the port of Lavrion, located 30min drive from Athens International Airport, El.Venizelos. A one-hour boat ride will take you to the island's port Korissia which is less than 15min drive from the windmill. Although the windmill is located in the outskirts of the island's capital (15min walk) a car is highly recommended as the island is quite mountainous and most beaches are only accessible by car. The interaction with the guests will be minimal. I will greet you at the house and see you again at your check out so you can share any feedback and your experience in person. I am happy to offer recommendations about restaurants, beaches and sights of the island. The location of the buildings offers great views over the island. There is a baker and a supermarket at 10min walk, or a just a few minutes by car. There are several fantastic beaches on the island. Three of them are located within a 15min drive from the house. Ioulida, the capital of the island, offers several traditional restaurants, a butcher, bakery, bars and traditional shops. There are buses and taxis on the island but a car is highly recommended. It can be rented either locally or at the airport.
