Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Agios Nikolaos

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 quick, nice and helpful. Everything was perfect

We had a great relaxing week at this peaceful Air Bnb. Afroditi met us with home made pastries, her family olive oil and raki, answered all our questions and gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We used the kitchen a lot for cooking and it was very well set up so we felt very much at home. We loved sitting on the large balcony looking over the sea and up into the mountains. Lovely beach right in front, many good restaurants 5 minutes walk away. The flat is in a very quiet bay and quite private. Afroditi was very welcoming and generous and a great host. We felt we had the perfect stay at Makry Gialos and would stay at Afroditi's place again.

Very nice people. The room was clean.

Thank you Michail! Great welcome, very nice place, people concerned about your well-being. Thank you to the Cretans for this welcome. Hoping to return very soon!!

Great apartment , 2 very spacious rooms with very comfy beds and lots of storage , mirrors and plug sockets . Lovely lounge diner with comfy sofa looking out over balcony which had an amazing view over Elounda harbour and opposite Spinalonga . Manos was very responsive in messages before and during our stay with any help or advice we needed . The apartment was well equipped and clean . Very comfy beds and pillows with crisp white linen . Air-con worked well with a unit in each room .Easy key safe check in . I have been coming to Elounda for 20years + and this is by far the nicest apartment I have stayed in . The view is worth the money alone . Thanks Manos and Elounda for another beautiful holiday .

This place is honestly a 10/10, I’d totally recommend it and would gladly come back. One of the best accommodations we’ve stayed in so far. What I loved most was the access to the sea. It’s a bit rocky, but if you’re a confident swimmer and have water shoes, it’s no problem. You can just step out of the garden and get straight into the water. The house itself is really pleasant, well-ventilated and cool. We stayed in June and didn’t even need the air conditioner. Just opening the windows in the morning and then closing them once the sun hit was enough to keep things comfortable. The terrace is huge, we spent loads of time there and in the garden, which is nicely shaded by the trees out front. Inside, I really appreciated the furniture — it has a traditional, authentic feel to it, definitely not your average IKEA setup. And last but not least, the host was incredibly welcoming professional, and warm. Overall, a fantastic stay.

We loved it here. We booked at short notice and paid a really reasonable price. the grounds of the hotel are beautiful. the pool is a salt water pool, which is a bonus. The view from both balconies was lovely. a great place to unwind after a hard day at the beach. Location is just off the main road....but mot close enough to know about it...feels very secluded. We had a lovely holiday. Christos was really helpful and friendly. Thanks so much!!

Very private, no noise from neighbors. We hardly heard any noise from the traffic as the apartment is not directly on the road. We stayed for a week and spent much time on the incredible balcony: you can always find a space in the shade there. We loved the Galini beach nearby. only downside is that you have to walk for 200 meters along the road, as there is no footpath. There is a private beach closer by, but not everyone will be willing to climb down. It's doable for most people, but it is no walk in the park. If you like solitude, or if the Galini beach is too crowded, then certainly try to go the private beach. The WiFi in the apartment and on the balcony is good enough to stream video to one laptop. We had a tremendous time and certainly will come back some time in the future

I cannot say enough about George and Maria and their attentiveness during our stay. They both went out of their way to answer all our questions and assist us with extras such as using the washing machine. The house was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed for our short stay. I can highly recommend this spot as a great place from which to explore Elounda.

We had the best time staying at the apartment. We were two adults and a child and it was perfect for us. Everything was exactly as in the pictures and the apartment is even bigger than I expected. Especially the beautiful patio. The small kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed. One can hear the road, so just bring your earplugs if you think it may bother you. There are mosquitoes nets and shades/curtains on all the windows which allowed us to keep them open at nights and sleep longer in the mornings. Other than the apartment itself, Pinelopi is the best host I have ever met on Airbnb. She took care of everything we needed, even before we asked. We felt right at home with her and we're very sad when it was time to go. We will always be happy to come and stay here again!

The 2nd time we stayed with Christina. We felt very welcome again and at home. Our own cottage just outside the city center, near the beach: easily walkable or by city bus.

This place is very remote, but with 50m from the sea it is really a magical place. Unfortunately, we only spent 5 nights there, but would have preferred to stay longer. The house itself is not so special, but the location absolutely is. With 100% privacy, you are 50 m from the sea with only a few houses nearby that are certainly not permanently occupied. With Sitia 15m away, you are also back in the inhabited world, with all the amenities available. In short, highly recommended if you like peace and space. Kallia is really a treasure, the house is tip top, and she even cooked for us the first night because we hadn't done any shopping yet. Will definitely come back

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 had a great time at Pinelopi's relaxing apartment by the beach! She gave us lots of great suggestions of places to visit and was very kinda and friendly. There are lots of great beaches nearby. We enjoyed meeting Toby the dog and having Sissi the cat hang out with us each morning. thank you again!

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. Kind regards Simone and Michael

Very nice decor and vibes. The patio was very relaxing to just rest in the sun.

A beautiful room exactly as it appears in the photos. It was five-floor and provided everything mentioned in the information. Michaela is very friendly and gave us information about the area that facilitated our stay

Great condo with a beautiful view. We loved walking down the beach towards all the bars and restaurants in the area, great location.

what a cosy clean place..the housekeeper came on a regular basis to keep it clean and provide clean linen/towels..the views from the balcony are stunning.michael the host is very hospitable and friendly nothing was too much trouble for him he met us at the apartment and he had provided the necessities to keep us going ie milk bread etc as we arrived late evening ..he arranged transport for us from the airport so it was a pleasant journey ..thankyou michael we loved it *****

The room was nice and big, view from the balcony was really beautiful, pool was great and the location was the best. You can find everything you need in Istro - shops, tavernas, beautiful beaches. We loved it and we can certainly recommend!

Beautiful spacious apartment with great modern design and with a unique sea view from the balcony (sea only about 20 meters away). Everything you need. The landlord is extremely friendly and always available. We felt very comfortable. There are many good restaurants in the area, all within walking distance. The free parking by the sea was also perfect. From there, you only need 5 minutes to the apartment. The beautiful bar near the bedrooms was always well attended and accordingly it was loud there until late at night. It's a matter of taste, but the beds were too hard for us. Otherwise absolutely recommended! We felt very comfortable and always had a cozy breakfast on the balcony.

Very nice, comfortable and quiet apartment, quite close to the city center, with a nearby supermarket for shopping and parking for the car. Aikaterini was willing to serve, but we did not need anything special, as there was everything necessary, as described in the amenities.

Great Apartment close to shops, beach and eateries nearby. Everything was clean with the necessary supplies. The days passed peacefully. Highly recommended for anybody visiting the area.
