Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Ligaria

We had a wonderful week at Dora & Antonis. Friendly in contact, easier to approach and they make you feel very welcome 'at home'. The room was as described. If you dare to climb the three sturdy stairs, you will have a wonderful private place with a beautiful view. With a delicious, sometimes a bit strong breeze. For us it was perfect! It was nice to be able to walk into the village and for us it was also well located to visit the more distant sights by car from there. All the people we spoke to in the village itself were also very friendly. Always ready for a chat and genuine interest. For the ultimate holiday feeling, you are in the right place! Take your snorkel set with you to admire the fish in the sea and be sure to have a bite to eat at Bravo, Antonis' restaurant. Had good food and very cozy evenings.

Perfect location, 20m to the beach, many restaurants, friendly people, parking spot bit tricky but never more than 200m. Communication perfect, very proactive. Exactly as the pictures shows.

We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment met our expectations, the beach is literally 30 seconds away from the apartment. The apartment has everything you need, and also has a large terrace where you can spend time both during the day and in the evening. We absolutely loved the location and Agia Pelagia, a small town, but you will find everything you need within walking distance - supermarkets, cafes, authentic restaurants with delicious local food. Special thanks to Nikos and Agatha for their hospitality and care! Agia Pelagia and Crete will definitely stay in our hearts and we already want to go back!

My husband and I spent a lovely week at Asteri Home. The house was exactly as expected and just what we wanted for our week in Crete. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to make breakfasts and a some dinners at home. The main double bedroom was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dark and the shower is quite small, but we made do. The most amazing part of the house is the huge garden overlooking the sea that has 4 sun loungers, 2 outdoor tables for dining, a BBQ and a dart board. We spent a lot of time sitting at the end of the garden enjoying the view. Véronique and Yiannis are amazing hosts. They were so helpful right from the start - arranging transport from the airport, a rental car, offering suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Kokkini Hani is quieter than other more touristy parts of Crete we visited. We found wonderful Greek restaurants with fresh seafood everyday. The supermarket and shops are all in walking distance. A lovely place!

We had a wonderful time. The apartment is beautiful and totally clean. Everything you need is available and the terrace is a highlight. Communication with the host was always fast, nice and helpful. Everything was perfect

Great place to stay with a lovely view. Very well stocked apartment! We had a great time and Agelos was really understanding and accommodating with our flight being delayed.

The apartment is cozy but was still big enough for the two of us =) Very nicely furnished and there was everything you could ever need. The location is perfect, lots of options for shopping or dining out. The pool is right next to the apartment. Absolute secret place. The beach is also only a 5-minute walk. We can recommend the BeachBar Heaven, which really offers you everything We will be happy to come back! Thanks for everything

Safe neighborhood! Shop 1 min! Delicious coffee in coffee shops! Very spacious and clean apartment! There is everything you need: a washing machine, an iron, a hairdryer. Bus stop nearby. Clean and spacious. The only thing to be scared of is that the apartment is on the first floor and the entrance to the apartment is not from the entrance, but directly from the street, but the neighborhood is safe, so you shouldn't worry about it. The host was wonderful, friendly! Check-out at 12:00 - just great. I recommend it!

Very nice place to stay with all amenities available. Lovely garden and sitting room

Antonia and Stella's house is very convenient and really very clean. There are wonderful views of Heraklion Bay. And the surroundings are quiet. Check-in and check-out information is impeccable, we arrived directly. Rodia is 15 minutes from the port of Heraklion, so very convenient for excursions in this city. Thank you for the fruit, drinks and pastries received upon arrival

We had the pleasure of spending our vacation in this cozy accommodation in a charming, quiet village in Crete. The location in the mountains offers a peaceful atmosphere that was good for our relaxation, away from tourism. The place itself was extremely practical and well-equipped. The cozy decor made us feel comfortable. The tranquility of the surroundings was simply heavenly – ideal for escaping the stress of everyday life. To explore the surroundings and the many beautiful sights, a car is important. So you can fully enjoy the authentic Cretan culture and breathtaking nature. Overall, I highly recommend this place! A perfect place for those looking for tranquility and coziness in a natural and mountainous environment. Thank you very much for the hospitality and great communication!

Very comfortable two bedrooms. Fantastic location right on the shore with their own access to the water. A lot of good restaurants with in a walking distance.

We were already in the house of Dionysia in autumn 2024 and since we liked it so much, we lived in Dionysia's house again in May/June 2025. Everything was as great as on our first visit. Everything is very neat and clean, the location is perfect to reach many excursion destinations and Dionysia is just a wonderful and very warm hostess. It was a fantastic vacation and we felt very comfortable. Thank you, dear Dionysia ❤️

We can only agree with the many positive reviews. We had a great time in the beautiful mountain village – it was a special experience. Every morning we had breakfast on the roof terrace and enjoyed the tranquility. At first we thought the sea would be missing, but that wasn't the case at all. We really came to rest – walks in the area were enough for that. Actually, we planned to do more, but we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere so much that we took it easy. Nevertheless, we were traveling by car and made some nice excursions, including to the coast, where we discovered great restaurants. A vacation that will stay with us in very good memory. Thank you Marie and her dear mother for everything. Best regards, Simone and Michael

Dear Cleopatra, we were able to visit Kerames for the third time and your accommodation for the second time. We enjoyed it again! Kerames, the beaches of the area, Nikos Tavern, dog Roxy, the cats and your beautiful house are now like coming home for us! Thank you for the hospitality and your loving treatment of us and our son! We will come again ☀️ In love 🫶

If you wish to experience a secluded garden by a non-travelled beach, almost like your own access to the sea, that is the place. A very good taverna is few meters away. Nothing best to let stress, driving, movida and consumerism behind one's shoulders for some days. Dimitri and his family have created a heaven of peace and a beautiful garden. The holiday-house from their parents is still decorated like in the 80s, but all the essentials are there. The generous welcoming, with a large basket of fruit, olive oil and salad from the herb garden, complete the feeling of coming home. Efkaristò! Many thanks! Rossella

We had a wonderful week staying in Michalis’ apartment. Views from both balconies from Apartment Two were spectacular, panoramic of the Amari Valley and Mount Ida still snow capped in the background. The apartment was immaculate and suited our needs very well. Any additional requests were dealt with swiftly. We mainly catered for ourselves in the morning and had two lovely breakfasts in Michalis’ Taverna. Meronas is a pretty village and enjoyed meals at Taverna’s Alona & Moschovolies. There was great hiking from the doorstep and only a short drive to Patsos Gorge. There is an excellent patisserie and supermarket in Gerikari a short drive away and supermarkets and pharmacy in Agia Fotini, 2.5 km away. We stayed end of April which was great as not too hot to hike but be aware many Taverna’s closed this time of year as off season. Would highly recommend a stay at Michalis’ apartments, another unforgettable holiday for us!

It was a wonderful stay! The apartment is completely new, modern and beautifully decorated. The hosts are a kind young couple who are extremely hospitable and professional. Starting with care before arrival, through a tour of the apartment, numerous recommendations about Rethymno, refreshments with cake, honey and other food, and finally fulfilling a special request. The location is fantastic, a few steps to everything. Thank you! I will be back.

We stayed at Nikos's place from 10/6-10/12. The sea view was great. In the evening we heard the sea rushing. 2 minutes to the beach. The water was clear and pleasant 25°. There were not many people on the beach, a pleasant atmosphere. The island offers many attractions, the old town of Rethymno is worth a trip alone. The prices are okay. The Greeks are nice and hospitable. Nikos was on hand when we had an issue. Very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place👍. Regine and Heike from Germany🙋🙋.

the place was very nice and Maria was very hospitable. Her mom gave us delicious homemade cookies. The house looked as if someone is still living there. there were personal photos and what seemed like personal items. looked a lot like a "home". We had a lovely time. thank you Maria.

The studio with sea view is located a few meters from a beautiful bay. I was lovingly greeted with fresh fruit, snacks and welcome drinks. Thanks to the self check-in via key box, everything was very straightforward and flexible. Popi was always available for answers to my questions. The apartment was very clean and everything necessary was available. Next door is a small mini-market run by the very hospitable Dimitri. The location is perfect for switching off. If you want to leave the small town to explore the surrounding villages, it makes sense to travel by car. I was able to reach Made easily by bus from Heraklion.

Staying in La Casita by Kleoniki was the best choice I could have made! The accomodation is very beautiful, clean, inspiring, has a lot of suggestive elements and It makes you feel at home from the first minutes! In addition, I really appreciated finding welcome food and drinks! The access street is very calm, and it is a crossroads of a main road, which have all the services you may need. It Is located less than 10 minutes walking from the port and less than 15 from Morosini Plaza. I really would recommend La Casita to everyone! Thank you Kleoniki, hope to come back soon!

Sofia and her dad Giorgos were great hosts, from meeting, explaining and taking the time to make great recommendations to checking in often, very much appreciated! We loved Iraklio (and Heraklion) and the flat had what the 4 of us needed to enjoy our stay. We spent our mornings and evenings on the decks and loved eating outside and drinking beverages. The recommendation for the Peskesi farm to table restaurant was spot on! The restaurant/cafes options in walking distance of the flat are plentiful and every place we tried was good. We walked everywhere, and took a city bus to the wonderful beach by the airport and the ferry excursion to Santorini one day. The archaeological museum is a stand out, and the history museum and Venetian Fortress were also great sites. Ended up skipping Knossos as the artifacts found were in the archaeological museum, so no opinion on that. We shall return to Crete some time and when staying in the area would gladly book with Sofia!

We thank Kallia very much and we asked her husband for something and we had it in five minutes. He also helped us with something we were looking for in the area. In general, both are very friendly. Very clean and beautiful space. I highly recommend it. Thank you again Rania-Akis
