Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Vathianos Kampos

I can’t say that enough about Nikoloaos and his wife as hosts! They were so incredibly kind and responsive. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and fun. By far the best Airbnb hosts I’ve encountered in my travels. I would very highly recommend a stay at this Airbnb. If you don’t, you’re missing out!

It was perfect. Very very friendly host and a great studio with direct views of the sea. Clean and large. Many nice touches in the fridge when we arrived. Thanks a lot for that. The location is perfect with restaurants and a mini-market nearby. Air conditioning works very well. Beautiful bathroom. In the kitchen it has everything you need. (Sandwich maker, toaster, kettle, hotplate, filter coffee maker) We were in Stalis for the third time. This room was the best of all.

Wonderful, luxurious apartment in the heart of the city, within walking distance of restaurants, cafes, Gelato, bakeries, shops and the old Venetian Port. Comfortable two bedroom apartment with all kitchen amenities and a washer for laundry. The only drawback were the steep 56+ steps to the third floor. Lugging luggage was difficult, especially since the upper steps have no railing.

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.

Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

10/10! Izabela is really the perfect host and rarely did we feel so comfortable! There was more than enough food available (fresh juices, water, eggs, cheese, sausage, bread, fresh fruit, noodles, jam and much more!) so the first purchase was not necessary at all. Since we didn't have a car for the period, the drinking water was especially (more than enough!) Worth gold! :) We were warmly welcomed, Izabela explained everything to us, gave tips for the area and we did not regret the excursions there! (She also brought us a freshly cooked Greek lunch, a real highlight! :) ) Here you can really relax and unwind and the hustle and bustle of the city can be reached in about 10 minutes walking. A clear recommendation!!!

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.

Magdalena and her husband Marinos were extremely kind. They picked us up from the airport after our flight was delayed over 11hrs. They made us feel right at home and the fridge was stocked with an assortment of drinks, bread, meat & cheese. The place is very spacious and comfortable. Used the washer and air dried our clothes no problem. One of the bathrooms has a huge assortment of different products to use that were great. If we asked a question, it was answered right away. Feel like we have made life long friends here. So much hospitality! Would highly recommend this place.

The villa is good, but not very clean and not maintained very well (door handle broke, the shower hole was clogged). The pool is great and shared with the other condo's and villa. There wasnt a problem with the host, but he doesnt go the further step to communicate with you. The communication is very basic. The location is ok, about 20 minutes walk from the main port, 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach, but the beach is not very nice. The only main problem is that the double beds are small, and not very comfortable for 2 adults. Over-all for the price, this place is good.

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 a lovely week at this place, beautiful views of Heraklion and the sea. The host is very responsive, we even had a small basket when we arrived with breakfast and sandwiches, very nice when you arrive straight from the airport.

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.

The Rustic Nook was such a lovely, unique place to stay. It felt like you were tucked away in a quaint cottage in the shire. Beyond the physical attractiveness of the home, Amanda was always just a text away. I felt that if an emergency were to arise, she would’ve been there in a moment’s notice. When it came to the Rustic Nook, she thought of everything and had a note or explanation available. We loved our stay and if we ever get the chance to come back to Crete, we hope to be able to stay at the Rustic Nook again!

Nice apartment, clean and spacious. Only five minutes on foot from the city centre! Julia is a fabulous host!

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.

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.

María was amazing and transparent about the house. Everything has perfect and expected. Thank you Maria

I had a wonderful stay at LaCasita and can't recommend it enough! Kleoniki is a truly exceptional host — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you might need. She made me feel at home from the very beginning and went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The apartment itself is absolutely charming — clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. It’s clear that Kleoniki put a lot of love and care into creating a cozy and relaxing space. And let’s talk about the location — it’s perfect! Right in the heart of Heraklion, just a short walk from all the main sights, great cafes, restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. Whether you're here for a short stay or a longer visit, it's an ideal base for exploring the city and beyond. Thank you, Kleoniki, for everything — I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a lovely stay at Sofia and her father Georgios' apartment - we particularly enjoyed the 2 balconies and the great location for the city centre. Good view over similar height buildings all around on three sides (5 floors with small lift). There was a delay replying to messages 2wks before (important as wanted to confirm they knew we were due to arrive late) but once that was sorted Georgios was lovely, meeting and chatting to us even though we arrived at midnight and providing a baby pram and cot. The apartment was as described and well looked after, though some doors were hard to shut, both bedroom black-out blinds bit stuck (so light) and some fittings from the 70s. It would have been good to have some bottled water on arrival (as we didn't want to drink tap water) but lots of condiments, shower gel, washing machine etc provided. A few mosquitos, initially none, after we watered the plants (in Oct) but good aircon in 3 rooms. It was good value and I would book again.

We were specially pleased by the kitchen, it really felt like home with everything needed there :)

Without a doubt, choosing this accommodation made our stay a success! I was lucky to be in Heraklion for quite a few days and the house was all I needed. The air conditioning and balcony allowed a very pleasant temperature in the house at all times. The kitchen comes with all the essentials, as well as the rooms. The house is very cozy and also in a perfect location to access the center and with several bus stops nearby. However, the best part of this stay was having Liana and her hospitality. She made excellent recommendations, accompanied us throughout the stay and made us feel at home, much more than you could ask for! I can't recommend this place enough, a great stay.
