About this property

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 organises Cretan nights with mouthwatering Greek food and folk dances. A number of social events are organised during summer in the open air restaurant. The area boasts dazzling white houses with pretty turquoise windows that host several old-fashioned shops, including a blacksmith.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

    Hotel (the only one?) located in the charming village of arolithos, worth spending a couple of nights there. Room is basic but is clean and comfortable. Quiet there. Reasonably priced. Nice restaurant next to the place (part of the hotel I believe).

    It felt authentic yet modern. It offered amazing views over the city and the bay. It was very very quiet though. Kids had a wonderful time and the pool was busy till 11pm- multilingual shouting and lots of laughter.
