Why the houses have names
Charikleia is our mother’s name, and the two houses carry its halves. Down in the garden, Charis keeps the grace: the welcome, the favour without an invoice. Up on the hilltop, Kleos keeps the renown: the good word said about you at a distance.
- Homer has Charis come forward to welcome a guest into the house
Kleos: four sea‑view suites, one floor
Eight guests, four sea-view suites, one pool-level floor. The party never splits across floors.
And no one draws the short room.
What can you do from the house?
Four outings cover most weeks here.
- The nearest beach flies a Blue Flag and lies two minutes downhill
- On a weekday evening the Temple of Poseidon takes the last light
- From Lavrio, the only port for Kéa, the ferry runs about an hour across the water
- Out of the marina at Anavyssos, a private day-sail reaches Patroklos islet and the cape
