Although Lygaria is becoming increasingly popular among travelers, the property is located up a small hill in a secluded area thus kept untouched by the package tourists. There are some excellent beaches nearby: the bays Ligaria (4’ drive) and a bit further away Agia Pelagia, are all well worth a visit (umbrellas and watersports are available). Tavernas on these beaches provide excellent local dishes at reasonable prices, while you can enjoy coffees, refreshments, quick meals and free wifi at the many cafes on site. Additionally, Made beach (2’ drive) is a tiny, lovely fishing port that takes you back in time. There is a selection of small mini markets and tourist shops in both Ligaria and Agia Pelagia; a couple of them are within walking distance from the property, if you feel like stretching your legs; or you can be brave and opt for the uphill walk for your morning exercise. The nearby taverna within the secluded area is a convenient choice for lazy meals; besides the home cooked meals on site incl. pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven, it offers delivery service. Neighbors are friendly and quiet, mainly locals with the great sense of hospitality and generosity that Cretans are well-known for. They will gladly invite you for coffee, give you a helping hand, spare you a tomato or two (they will get offended if you insist to replace them), offer you home-grown fruits, homemade sweet fruit preserves or home-distilled raki.
