Address : 11th km of old road from heraklion to rethymnon, heraklion region Show Hotel Map

This attractive hotel affords a stunning panorama of a wild, romantic mountain landscape. The small town of Gázi, with a wide range of shopping facilities as well as numerous restaurants, diverse bars and cafes, is around 4 km away, the Minoan settlement Tílissos, is located around 3 km from the hotel. The tourist centre of Ammoudara and nightclubs are roughly 5 km away. The inviting beach and turquoise-blue sea are also roughly around 5 km from the hotel and can comfortably be reached by car. The next public transport stop is 10 km away and Heraklion is 12 km from the hotel. Here, guests will find plenty of interesting, cultural and historical sightseeing attractions, such as the History Museum and the Archaeological Museum. There are 2 airports in the vicinity (one is around 12 km away and the other is 15km away). Knossos Palace is only 20 km from the hotel and Phaestos Palace is roughly 80 km away, which are both well worth a visit.


This was a project that began years ago with the aim of recreating a Cretan village where visitors would enjoy experiences ranging from Cretan dance classes to a traditional Cretan wedding. There is a folklore museum and arts and crafts workshops operating upon request such as ironmongers, loom, wood oven, and traditional Cretan dances. The hotel offers a unique alternative experience welcoming guests who are looking for an off the beaten track holiday.
Exterior: The whole complex has been built to resemble a traditional Cretan village, complete with a main square, houses and workshops. The new swimming pool area Delphys is a refreshing addition available for a relaxing swim or suntanning on the deckchairs.
Lobby: There is a medium sized reception area where clients are welcomed.

Rooms
The traditional, tastefully furnished and spacious rooms come with en suite bathroom facilities, a direct dial telephone, air conditioning (individually regulated), heating, a fridge and a balcony. In addition, it is possible to request a foldout bed. Some rooms feature an open fireplace (wood included).

Restaurant & Food
There is a main restaurant which offers Greek dishes cooked with all due respect to tradition and original ingredients.

Comments
The visitor who is interested in folklore and would like to see in practice the artistic activity which has been kept unchanged today in embroidery, weaving, ceramics, hagiography and pottery should not miss the unique traditional village of Arolithos, which has ragged grandeur of wild mountains as a background. This, along with the wild carob trees, the lentisks, the gorse, the vineyards and olive groves of Crete constitute a picture of Arolithos. It is a village with cobbled streets and with houses, which have tiled roofs and terrace. Its architecture is genuine Cretan whilst the materials are also genuine old. Arolithos reminds our visitors how Crete was several years ago.In the village work some genuine craftsmen and Cretan artisans, such us the ironsmith, the potter, the weavers etc...
