Viglatoras is a traditional stone house set at the foot of Mount Psiloritis. Surrounded by farm land and forested hills, it offers agrotourism activities and has a Cretan tavern. Heraklion is 20 km away.

Furnished with respect to Cretan tradition, Viglatoras maisonettes and suites have seating areas with fireplace, cool stone floors and stone-built sofas. Modern features include air conditioning and heating and equipped kitchens.

The Viglatoras tavern features a stone oven and grill. Here, you will have the chance to taste authentic Cretan dishes. Specialties include the ‘ofto’, a meat dish cooked on a skewer and grilled on open fire.

Guests can enjoy Greek coffee, herbal tea and homemade pastries at the café with fireplace or the upper-floor lounge with piano. Free Wi-Fi is available in communal areas.

Viglatoras guests have the opportunity to pick fruit and vegetables, watch the preparation of traditional food and pastries, or take part in weaving workshops.
