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 9.2 for a two-person trip.

It's a traditional Cretan Village style place that you can enjoy being a tourist. The breakfast included stuff that any local would usually eat, you do not choose but get a variety that is available this day, omelets, eggs, pies, yogurt etc. If...

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).

Sehr schöne Anlage im griechischem Stil. Grosse Zimmer, leider sehr altmodisch und dunkel möbliert. Die Anlage verfügt über einen Pool und ein Restaurant mit sehr guter Küche. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.
