Matt's Pick! The Red Tractor Farm Guesthouse

Red Tractor farm GuesthouseUnless they are fully booked look no further than the Red Tractor Farm, a family run guesthouse in the valley of Korissia just a few steps from the beach. There are three separate two-story houses, each beautifully designed for the utmost comfort and practicality of their guests.  Each house has a living room upstairs with a slightly raised sleeping platform as well as a desk and access to wireless high speed Internet connection. There is a shower/w.c upstairs as well as down-stairs. Downstairs there is an additional bedroom with 2 single beds or 1 double according to your needs. All stairways are child-safe with doors and half-doors on either end. Natural light is a key feature of the design indoors as well as outdoors. There are shady seating and lounging areas on both levels as well as sunny spots for sunbathing. It is possible to rent one floor only of a guesthouse, when available.

Red Tractor Farm is located at the edge of the port village of Korissia. The port beach is at the end of the road and a second sandy beach, Yialiskari, is less than a 10 minute walk from the guesthouse. Both beaches have clear water and are very safe for children. The port of Korissia is pedestrian only in the evening where there are tavernas, cafes, bakeries, food markets and a couple of bars. The guesthouse is run by Kostis Marulis who also does Walking Tours of Kea and takes guests for sailing trips around Kea in his boat Soultana. His wife Marcie is a native Californian and has been living in Greece since 1984. She was a restauranteur, interior designer and Art teacher in Athens. In her spare time she paints, sculpts and makes mosaics - all incorporated into Red Tractor Farm seminars that  include guest artists. Marcie enjoys working with children and regularly schedules weekend Art Workshops for kids.

Red Tractor Guesthouse is open year round.
