  Beautiful location but that’s where the good ends

  We can’t fault the beauty of the place, full of rustic charm but I’m afraid that’s where the good ends. Breakfast buffet? A table with room temperature yogurt, stale bread and slimy cucumbers is what we found. If you like your tea cold this place is perfect. Every morning very limited options with a couple of cold mini frankfurter sausages, a couple of pieces of bacon which has just been shown the… Read moreWe can’t fault the beauty of the place, full of rustic charm but I’m afraid that’s where the good ends.

  A quirky fun hotel village in the mountains

  I had a wonderful time at AROLITHOS TRADITIONAL CRETAN VILLAGE. This isn't a normal hotel! It was designed in the 1980s to look like a village with the rooms resembling houses. There is a village square, a museum, a shop, a large restaurant, a swimming pool and many animals including cats and a Parrot. The hotel village is situated outside Heraklion in the mountains surrounded by sheep and goat fa… Read moreI had a wonderful time at AROLITHOS TRADITIONAL CRETAN VILLAGE. This isn't a normal hotel!

  A wonderful place off the beaten track

  This is not like a regular hotel, but a unique place to stay. As the name goes, it resembles a picturesque Cretan village and it is a pleasure to stroll down the streets. Since it is located in the middle of nowhere, I would recommend the half board option that includes dinner. Food is delicious, mostly Cretan cuisine, and the waiter’s attention couldn’t be better, both warm and professional. The… Read moreThis is not like a regular hotel, but a unique place to stay.

  It’s not a quiet and clean hotel to stay

  We have stayed here for 4 nights stay. We recommend you not to book here.Firstly we couldn’t sleep well because they had parties/ events for 2 nights in row with very loud music until 4am, even though the hours of silence in Greece are from 22:00 to 7:30. We have measured the noice inside the room at 4pm, it was over 60 dB. We booked here to take a rest but then we couldn’t even sleep!!!Secondly t… Read moreWe have stayed here for 4 nights stay.

  beautiful, rustic place, very peaceful

  a gorgeous, very quiet place to stay on october, we stopped for 7 nights and the weather was perfect, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely, would recommend maybe hiring a car, as the bus only comes by 3 times a day and once on a sunday if you wanted to go into town for a full day, but there are taxi services that take you into town and they only take 15/20 minutes to get there. Close by… Read morea gorgeous, very quiet place to stay on october, we stopped for 7 nights and the weather was perfect, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely, would recommend maybe hiring a car, as the bus only comes by 3 times a day and once on a sunday if you wanted… Read more
