We came for a very short stay and enjoyed every moment at Arcasa villas. The villa was stunning, new with beautifully modern design, perfectly equipped, very clean and shows great attention to detail. It’s a pity we didn’t have time to use the pool, but there’s no doubt we’ll come back in the future.

Our stay at Villas Archanes was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and perfect for four people. The breakfast was spectacular. We easily walked to town for dinner. The service was great. We got raki and a desert for free on arrival.

This place was AMAZING. The small town and luxurious vibe we were looking for. All the staff from reception to kitchen to cleaning was so nice and helpful. Especially Manos was kind and thoughtful. Nikos helped us arrange a car. It was more expensive than what we found online, but this car was delivered to us and we could leave it at our next hotel in Heraklion. We therefore paid for this service.

An exceptional stay in every respect. Alexandra Heritage Maison is a truly beautiful property, full of character, charm, and impeccable attention to detail. Everything was perfect throughout our stay — comfort, cleanliness, atmosphere, and hospitality all deserved 10/10. What made the experience even more special was the kindness and flexibility shown to us, especially by allowing a later check-out, which we greatly appreciated. A wonderful place to stay in Archanes, and one I would recommend without hesitation.

Arhanes is a charming village just 16 kilometers from...

Arhanes is a charming village just 16 kilometers from Heraklion city, yet it feels worlds away, surrounded by lush olive groves and fertile fields—especially vibrant in spring. Set against the backdrop of a serene bay, the picturesque streets and colorful mansions create a sense of joy and calm. What truly stands out is how thoughtfully the village is organized. Parking is arranged around the perimeter, keeping the heart of the settlement free of traffic and creating a safe, walkable environment for pedestrians. The narrow streets are well maintained, clean, and easy to navigate, encouraging slow strolls where you can fully take in the character of the place—flower-filled corners, carefully restored facades, and small details that reflect local pride. Public spaces are clearly defined and inviting, with benches, shaded areas, and open squares that naturally draw people together. Accessibility has also been considered, with smooth pathways and gentle transitions that make movement easier for everyone, including visitors with mobility needs. The central square, framed by tall trees, is both functional and welcoming—offering cool shade in the summer and acting as a natural gathering point where daily life unfolds at an unhurried pace.

Archanes Village in Crete offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Cretan culture and hospitality. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, this village exudes charm with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. During my stay, I was captivated by the rich history and authenticity that permeates every corner of Archanes. Exploring the village revealed hidden gems, from ancient ruins to quaint cafes serving delicious local cuisine. The accommodations were impeccable, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Whether staying in a historic hotel or a charming stone house, every detail was meticulously curated to ensure a memorable experience. The genuine hospitality of the locals further enhanced my stay. From friendly greetings in the village square to recommendations for exploring the surrounding area, their warmth made me feel like a welcomed guest. Archanes Village is a true gem in Crete, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this remarkable island. I cannot wait to return and continue exploring all that this charming village has to offer.

Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere.

Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere. Okay, it's quite close to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos. But if you want to go to the beaches, you have a choice between terribly crowded beaches around Heraklion, and God forbid, Malia... probably the most disgustingly overcrowded beach we've ever seen, or the beaches on the south of the island, which are accessible through winding mountain roads that can be quite challenging to navigate with a weak engine, like the Peugeot 108 we rented. The best option is the beaches to the west of Matala, which are a bit over an hour away via Road 97 through Heraklion, leading to Kommos Beach just west of Matala. Matala, although charming, is terribly crowded, while Kommos offers a wide expanse of pebbles with an incredible stereo effect: the sound of waves and the "singing" of cicadas. So you can spend a day at Kommos Beach, having quite a spacious area around you and only the sounds of nature, and in the evening, you can go to Matala for dinner, enjoying a charming but not as spectacular as the Polish Baltic Sea sunsets.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion. It has great restaurants, beautiful scenery a well curated archaeological museum and many nearby attractions including Knossos. We stay here each time we come to Crete as it is a really relaxed Cretan village. It is accessible by car and bus from Iraklion. Narrow laneways and hilly terrain make it a walker’s dream location.

A little maisonnette prettily furnished and well-equipped, that allows for self-catering. Rooms are on the first floor, small, but there is ample space in the sitting room and kitchen downstairs. The house is off the street, very near the main square and picturesque, well-restored old village of Archanes. There is anice bakery 10m away from the house. There were kind little edible gifts waiting for me when i arrived.

The Kitchen was new, modern and well equipped with popular brands. This was the best place in the entire house. Also the house was spacious and was split in 2 levels with picturesque furniture of local traditional design. The house is "hidden" few minutes walk from Archanes center, with a garden surrounding next to a church. It has 2 external balconies one in each floor.
