Surroundings: Between Agia Pelagia and Ligaria. Two calm, sparkling clean beaches cooled down by the clear blue that stretches before them. Just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Heraklion, the Keramos complex with the six separate areas of accommodation, gazes from high up into the splendour of the sea and the tranquillity of the surrounding Cretan landscape, wild and hospitable all at once. From the organised exterior but also from all interior spaces, the view sprawls uninterrupted, beckoning for exploration and relaxation. In Crete hospitality is sacred. It is registered as genetic information. It’s part of everyday life for the people of Crete. It is with this hospitable disposition that George and Claire created the Keramos. It is with this hospitable heart that George and Claire welcome you. With a genuine smile. With knowledge and experience of all they owe and want to offer their guests. Talk with George about the way you would like to get here. Ask him about anything concerning ways of access. George will wait for you at the airport or the port, if so arranged. Alternatively, he will take care to have a vehicle of your choice at your disposal, at the prearranged time and place, at the best possible price.
**** Some info of the near bays ***
The beautiful and calm gulf of LYGARIA in only 400m away. It is a lovely narrow stretch of sand with calm and warm crystal clear waters. Watersports, scuba diving, sea beds, super markets and fish tavernas make this spot one of the most famous in the area.
The AGIA PELAGIA sandy bay is about 2 Km away. It is protected from the north winds, and the sea is almost always calm. AGIA PELAGIA village has developed around its shores, so that's where you'll find many of the tavernas and cafeterias. In the center of Agia Pelagia you will find a super market, tourism offices, pharmacy, an ATM, tourist and souvenir shops and the taxi stand. There are many restaurants and tavernas featuring Cretan, Greek or international cuisine, and all have a beautiful view of the sea. As you dine in Agia Pelagia, you can also partake of the wonderful scenes around you, and snap these memories into a treasured photo album: the various shades of the rippling sea, the cute little kid building a sand castle, the old fishing boats anchored in the bay, the fishermen preparing their nets for the night's labour!

Fabulous property for the price
Perfect apartment for family with teenagers. Spacious and clean with more or less a private pool. We don’t mind walking up and down hills to get to beaches and restaurants. The host, George was very helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Pleasant surprise!
This awesome villa is located in a small village, it’s very central in Crete, short distance from airport, near beaches (Liguria and Agia Pelagia), private pool, Georges is a fantastic host and supermarket nearby. Car is a must if you want to visit the island during your stay. We would return to Keramos Villa and appartments without hesitation.

Great property with really good facilities in a beautiful setting. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
First time we've booked with HomeAway, and first time in Crete: we'll definitely both again. George, the owner, was fantastic and really helpful from the start: arranging airport transfers and boat trips for us at a good price. The surrounding area is lovely with two good beaches to choose from and although there is less at the nearest beach, Ligaria, there is still a choice of where to eat and drink.
I really recommend this property to others: the pool is big enough to keep teenagers amused but you don't feel like you're on a resort.
Thanks George and Claire for a great
holiday!

Vacances agréables
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable, le logement est bien agencé et très propre, chouette d'avoir une piscine après nos escapade. Georges s'est occupé de la location d'un véhicule pour nous et comme promis il se trouvait à l'aéroport. Nous étions content d'avoir loué une voiture. Le logement est à recommandé. Claudine

Fantastic holidays with Gerorge as great host
We stayed fourteen days at Georges apartments and had one of our best holidays ever. George is a lovely host and the apartments are very fine. All our doubts travelling with three young boys (8, 7 and 4 yeras old) didnt become true. First: to hot in July/ August: No! The apartments are on a hill. It is always windy. Perfect! Most of the time we could use thee pool alone. Second: You need a car. No. We rent a car only in the second week. You can walk to Lygaria beach, no problem. There is a supermarket you can reach in ten minutes walking. We drove with a taxi from Heraklion airport. No problem.
We drove 900 km all along the island. Lygaria beach is one of the finest beaches we have seen. Small but fine.
We will come back for sure!
All the best from Germany
