PolandLoved 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.
GreeceThe 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.

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.
