Nestled in the hills of Kea, just four kilometres from the island’s port and a short ferry ride from Athens, Agrikea is a tranquil retreat offering panoramic views across the Aegean Sea. Set on a one-hectare property, the hotel is surrounded by terraced farmland and Mediterranean vegetation, including oak, olive, almond, fig, and pomegranate trees, as well as herb and vegetable gardens. This peaceful setting combines the rustic charm of a traditional farmhouse with the refined comforts of a boutique hotel.
Agrikea accommodates guests in a small number of rooms and suites, each designed to reflect simplicity, authenticity and eco-conscious living. Suitable for groups of two to five, the accommodation can also be rented as a whole for private use by up to 18 guests. Pet-friendly and welcoming only guests over the age of 13, Agrikea maintains a quiet, relaxed atmosphere ideal for those seeking privacy and a connection to nature.
Each room is constructed using bioclimatic principles, favouring ceiling fans over air conditioning to create a natural, comfortable environment. Traditional architecture, sustainable materials and thoughtful design blend with panoramic sea views and tranquil courtyards to offer a sense of calm and seclusion.
Guests may choose to add breakfast, served daily on a tray either in-room or at any preferred spot across the property. The Agrikea breakfast features local Greek yoghurt, nuts, seeds, island honey, boiled eggs or omelette from free-range chickens, bread with butter and jam, seasonal fruits, and freshly brewed coffee or tea. A lighter breakfast option is also available. Upon arrival, the first filling of each room’s minibar is complimentary, including wine, beer, soft drinks, and water.
The 11-metre pool with hydromassage and jet stream is available to all guests and offers a space for swimming, relaxation and sunset views. For special occasions or group gatherings, an outdoor kitchen and dining area beneath a pergola can be arranged for use, with or without a private chef. Mediterranean dinners for small groups of four to twelve can also be organised in advance using produce from the property and local suppliers.
Agrikea’s concierge service supports a variety of arrangements, including car hire, restaurant reservations, private excursions on land or at sea, and transfers to and from Athens or other destinations in the Cyclades. Massage treatments are available in-room or outdoors with sunset views, offered in collaboration with a local spa partner.
Throughout the property, guests will find quiet corners for reading, relaxation, or simply taking in the scenery. A curated book collection, including literature on Greek flora, fauna, architecture and sustainability, is available to browse. Cocktails are also offered by the pool, particularly at sunset, which is a highlight of the stay.
Located close to the port yet tucked away in peaceful countryside, Agrikea provides access to the best spots of Kea while maintaining a serene and secluded atmosphere. With a commitment to sustainability, traditional charm, and understated luxury, Agrikea is an ideal choice for those seeking a slower pace and a deeper connection with the natural surroundings. Car hire is strongly recommended for exploring the island.
