Victor Hugo wrote in the Les Miserables novel: "a sight greater than the sea is sky, greater than the sky is the human soul".||Strict harsh and mesmerizing beauty of southern Crete, where time slows down and even stops and eternity speaks to you.||Also say, Crete can not drive the young, you may not have time to see the rest of the world. ||Blessed are those true Crete lovers, who have not yet been to Ligres. Ligres - is something magical! space and time there take another meaning. You can walk through a long beach, swim... being absolutely one watching sunset and sunrise! And if there are starlight moments in the world, then it is precisely them.||There must be at least one night spend, and a better place than Villa Maria simply does not exist!

Read moreEverything is wonderful at Villa Maria, starting with Tony and his mother Maria who are the most caring hosts you can imagine, so much so that you feel as welcome as an old friend. They are always there when you need them. The location, only half an hour away from Spili, is very beautiful and off the beaten tracks with a striking contrast between the mountains and the beaches. The views from the hotel are breathtakingly picturesque. I stayed in room Katerina, very nice, perfectly clean, with a very good bed and a terrace with comfy chairs. Plenty of hot water for the shower. Maria is a very fine cook too, the food is truly delicious and the open restaurant a very cosy place. On the big terrace, there are also coffee tables with good chairs to have a rest in the shade or have an ouzo. Wi-Fi works perfectly in both the restaurant and the room. Altogether, a great travel and human experience (and very good value for money)!|Thank you again for your kindness and hospitality, Tony...
