Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Southern Aegean

From the minute I met the hosts at the ferry port I knew this vacation was going to be special! They are both so warm and welcoming and I now have new friends for life. The home was the ideal place that I dreamed of...it overlooks the Aegean Sea, just 10 minutes outside of the port city, close to a grocery market and numerous beaches. The sunset right from the porch or from the shore is heavenly and different every night. There's a path down the cliffside right to the water. The home itself is exactly as it appears in the description and the pictures. I absolutely plan to visit here again as this home is exactly the relaxing environment I was hoping for. I highly recommend it!

The place is very nice - white house with blue windows and pink flowers. The location was perfect to reach with our rental car (which we could park right outside the door) and between a variety of beautiful beaches within walking distance. From the bed as well as from the terrace you could see directly to the sea. Communication with Stella was very nice and easy. She welcomed us with a tray full of food. It was cleaned daily and even the towels were changed. The only negative point was the mosquitoes. A fly screen in the window would be useful.

Jessica has a lovely, cute little place located in the medieval town of Ano Syros. Due to the location, the place can’t be reached by car. However this is clearly pointed out in the description of the place. It’s a beautiful place, not big but full of atmosphere. The location gives opportunity to walk through the beautiful medieval town and to visit nice bars and restaurants that are only a few meters away. You need to be fit to walk stairs within the town. Wheelchairs cannot be used in the area. Jessica and her husband were lovely hosts, very responsive, willing to answer questions and very supportive. It was a joy to be their guest. I can fully recommend this place under the Bougainvillea tree.

We had a lovely time at Simos' place. The apartment is very functional and above all ideally located, literally 30 m from the beach and 100 m from all amenities (convenience stores, restaurants). And what about the setting, except that it's beautiful. Vathi Bay is truly a charming and peaceful place 😍

We absolutely loved staying here. Evagelia was very communicative and early to greet us. She was very kind, showed us where everything was and on a map drew out recommendations for specific restaurants, beaches and more depending on what suited our tastes and interests. The room was super clean and nice, with a gorgeous private balcony overlooking the beach and water. Just a 30 second walk to the beach - couldn’t be easier! And about a 5 minute walk to the port. Simply put, when we come back to Paros we will definitely be staying here.

The apartment was spacious and clean and had everything we needed for our stay, situated in the heart of Plaka. Lillianna was a great host, offered plenty of recommendations and was always responsive to any messages we sent. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved the views from the patio. It is the perfect place to watch the beautiful sunset. We consistently grabbed a bottle of wine from Mykonos Town and enjoyed on our patio during sunset. Host also took the time to provide great recommendations to explore the island. It is a quick walk to town - the hill is steep but it is not far from the main area and easily accessible by foot.

Rosanna was fantastic from booking to arrival, she met us from the taxi and was so friendly and helpful the air b&b was better than expected and had everything we needed lovely and clean had a lovely stay and would recommend to friends and family

The house in Mykonos was absolutely breathtaking! It exceeded all of our expectations! We were comfortable and the team at Bluewater Mykonos was absolutely amazing, catering to our every request quickly, and kindly! The restaurants were within walking distance, as was the beach. Stunning views! 10 out of 10!!! We WILL be back!!

We were extremely happy with our stay, the location was perfect to visit Naxos town. It is central to everything. It is also above a very nice cafe/restaurant. The hosts were welcoming and helpful with check in, even taking our cases to the room for us upon arrival. We would definitely recommend and would look forward to staying again. We wish the room had been available for the entire week as we would have happily stayed here. Thank you!

Everything was perfect

If you’re thinking of booking this place, just do it! A charming house located in the idyllic Mandrakia Town. A total greek island fantasy, the house is very cute and comfortable. We ended up arriving later than expected due to a late ferry but the hosts were more than accomodating. Communication was always A+. We were greeted by the hosts mother who was very lovely. The kitchen was stocked with coffee pods and some apples which we enjoyed, as well as a delicious cake. The scenes outside are amazing and breathtaking. The town does get popular during the day with tourists and you can’t help but feel lucky to get to have it right on your doorstep. Across the way is the Medusa restaurant, we ate there each night and enjoyed the friendly staff who are also part of the family. It was some of the best seafood we have ever had. By night three we knew all the staff and felt right at home. This place had soul, comfort and picturesque views. Make the booking!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We very much enjoyed staying at the Miner’s House. Athanasios’s was an excellent host, taking the time to take us through his recommendations of the island. Both him and George were lovely. The location was very ideal, in a quiet area that was very central - close to the Chora, Port and beaches. The house was very comfortable, with everything that we needed. Added bonus of the sweet cat that visited us daily!

George was the perfect host. The place was accurately described, and we were steps from the beach. The mini market was a minute away, and the owner along with David were very helpful, too. George was responsive and there within 15 minutes when the front door blew shut and locked us out with our key, and phones inside. Such a pleasant man, we would definitely go back and stay at his properties. The people were so kind everywhere we went, and we terribly sorry to leave Naxos and Agios Prokopios especially.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Everything was perfect, 1 minute walk to the beach, I fell asleep to the sound of the waves, the house itself was perfectly clean, had everything you could ever think of including flat iron, laundry detergent, cofee machine and coffee, sugar, olive oil, even kayaks free to use! Kalliopi was amazing! She came in the harbour to pick us ap at 01:00 in the middle of the night, she was super easy to communicate with during our whole trip and helped us with reccommendations for eating out etc. We are in love with Milos and we would never pick another accommodation, we will definitely be coming back, one week was not enough! Thank you so much Kalliopi!

Perfect stay for my group of 5! 🤍 the Villa is absolutely stunning. Moshoula and her entire team are the absolute best! Service 10/10. Highly recommended!!!

We had a fantastic staking at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and exactly like described. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still quiet enough for a peaceful night's sleep. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Suzanna and her daughter are great hostesses. They are fun and generous. Very hospitable and engaging.

I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

This is an amazing place and we had a wonderful week! The view is incredible and we spent most of our time just relaxing on the terrace! The beds are comfortable, the shower is excellent and the kitchen is very well equipped. Iannis was super helpful and gave us lots of good recommendations for the island. We would come back!

Giannis went above and beyond to help us with our stay! Apartment was clean, well located, and beautiful view.

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've just had an amazing stay in this apartment. The location is perfect, about 10m from the sea, the sound of which lulls you to sleep at night. The internal photos don't do it justice. It's very spacious and the decor is lovely. There is everything you need for your stay, including a sweet welcome pack from Sofia plus water and juice in the fridge. Sofias mother, Maria lives downstairs and stopped us most days with small presents of home made cookies, fresh apricots. The outstanding thing about this gem of a place is the proximity to the sea and the fabulous views. If we ever re-visit Kardamena, we wouldn't stay anywhere else.

This was a great place to stay! I was here for 4 days and its close enough to town that you can easily walk everywhere if you want food, the beach, or beer. Plus if youre a climber, the Grand Grotta is literally right above you! And the trail up to the crags is less than a minute walk away. Plus Saksia is a very helpful host, and had very good recommendations on where to go to find climbing partners and get food.
