David United Kingdom

the hotel location is amazing. in an old reconstructed viliage.

Naama Israel

Calm place with all services available so we did not have to leave the hotel. Restaurants, bar, mini market. Also as we had to leave early in the morning they prepared a basket with our breakfast to bring with us.

Nair Portugal

Loved the swimming pool, as well as the very friendly staff. The view overlooking Heraklion was really beautiful. Our room was spacious and clean. We wishes we had time to explore the traditional crafts . Super close to the airport so convenient as a last night

Rayanne France

View and weather . Spacious room. Real value for money

Eleftherios South Africa

Comfortable beds lovely views lovely food lovely staff . Was in a village setting. But o ly 15 mins transfer from airport

Richard United Kingdom

The place is absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't believe our own eyes. Narrow streets of the village, with a lot of green, birds. Just must-see!!!

Piotr Poland

Loved the old style Cretan village. The staff were fantastic. The Museum, mosaic workshop and local shops just fitted in to the village in a special way. Loved it.

Hoskinakis Greece

The concept of a hotel with rooms in the little streets of what was a genuine Cretan hill village is a lovely one and in-season there are apparently a number of activities as well as a swimming pool. The village is high on the hillside and on the old national road from Heraklion to Chania.

Niall Greece

The helpfulness of the staff. The food in the restaurant is fantastic.

The Arolithos Traditional Village Hotel occupies a cluster of buildings on the mountains outside Heraklion. Built in the late 1980s, it has been purposely designed to reproduce an authentic Cretan village and much care has been taken to recreate the atmosphere of times gone by.

In the bedrooms, modern amenities are cleverly blended with traditional . The local taverna organizes Cretan nights with mouthwatering Greek food and folk dances. A number of social events are organized during summer in the open air restaurant.

The area boasts dazzling white houses with pretty turquoise windows that host several old-fashioned stores, including a blacksmith.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
