I got here by car, really easy to find, 15 min away from the airport, and reception was open at 00:30, what was a relief. Car Park within the complex. Pool/ bar area lovely and really authentic. Perfect for getting into the Greek holidays mood. Cheap and good value for the price.

Very nice hotel. The stuff is very friendly. Great view to Heraklion!!! It was our 4th stay and it will be not our last

Arolithos Traditional Village is a great place to start your holiday when arriving in Herakleion especially late at night. It is quiet and away from the hustle of the city. It is easy to get to as well. Staying one night is fine.

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 8.1 for a two-person trip.

“An excellent base from which to explore the island of Crete, a hotel different from mass-tourism.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 14 nights
Please vary the breakfast menu! Offer a daily special (good Greek recipes) to make the restaurant more interesting.
The inclusion of independent shops on the property was tastefully done. The businesses adhered to the 'old-time' decor. The outdoors dining area has a beautiful view. The staff is very well chosen, polite and caring. The design of the buidings and grounds gives the feeling of a village.

The whole complexe is not a village, as expected but bungalows put together. Looks cheap. The pool is not very deep so no joy to jump in. The breakfast was really poor. More fresh fruits and natural juices.
The music and folklore show on the night of arrival.

Bathroom was not very clean and it’s a bit far from town so you need to hire a car to get around.
