small valley not far from the sea.
It is surrounded by olive and
almond trees, a small vegetable garden and lots of wild and
cultivated Mediterranean aromatic shrubs. Classes are held in
the kitchen, and the lunches are served al fresco, under a
canopy. There is a BBQ and a traditional wood-burning oven in
the garden. Kea is the island of the Cyclades .
