Nestled in the western Cyclades, just a short ferry ride from Athens, Kea remains one of Greece's most authentic island destinations. Known locally as Tzia, the island offers a refreshing alternative to the crowded tourist centers of the Aegean.

What truly distinguishes Kea, however, is not only its picturesque villages, pristine beaches, and ancient footpaths, but its deeply rooted culture of hospitality.Hospitality on Kea reflects the timeless Greek concept of philoxenia, the love of welcoming strangers. Visitors quickly discover that the island's approach to tourism is personal, genuine, and deeply connected to local traditions.Unlike destinations shaped by mass tourism, Kea has preserved an atmosphere where guests are treated less as customers and more as friends invited into island life.

The minimal architecture of Anamar Hotels & Resorts fits perfectly with the character of the island, and promises short and long moments of relaxation in an alternative holiday destination.

In the Cyclades, architecture is more than style; it is a way of living shaped by light, landscape, and time. Stone-built houses, marble details, whitewashed walls, and quiet terraces reflect a tradition of simplicity and authenticity that has endured for centuries across the Aegean islands.

Several years ago London-based Peter and Susan Marston chanced on Tinos Island waiting for a delayed flight at Mykonos.
They were curious; travelling the Aegean for years no one had spoken of the beautiful quiet island nearby.Charmed, they viewed impossible shared owners. A year later, somehow, miraculously, the Marstons owned it and work began. And, equally miraculously a year later it opened for visitors.
It had become a passion for Peter and Susan, designing, making and creating for the project. Local Tinos people helped and many new friends were made.
