We loved this place. We were two adult brother and sister and two adult nieces. We saved it for the end of an 18 trip that included Athens, Milos, and Istanbul. Boy were we sick of Greek food by then however Arolithos cheered our weary travel spirits. We had already enjoyed our family traditional home in Tripiti on Milos so...

This little 'traditional' village in the mountains near Iraklion was a welcome breath of fresh air after the bustle of the city. The little apartment was very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom had quirky plumbing but was fine. We were almost the only guests in the taverna and though there was no choice of food we were given a decent...

Dear guests of Arolithos Village Hotel.
Many thanks for writting on TripAdvisor. You really help us very much to know your point of view. It is true that when there are just few guests in the hotel it is not easy to have a full menu or even big choice of dishes. The cost is high and the products cannot...

I have not had the pleasure to stay in the hotel-village near Heraklion, but with our International Community we had an excellent lunch in April in the Taverna. The staff was very friendly and the menu was almost full available in this low season. Cretan and Greek kitchen is the main list of the menu, but also a steak is...

Arolithos is a small village with the atmosphere of an old traditional cretean village. It is situated on a hill about 10 km far away from Heraklion, so it's the perfect place if you want to avoid the confusion, the traffic and the noise of the city.
Rooms are very simple but with everything you really need: air conditioning, fridge,...

Located away from the crowd in a nice country side. relaxing atmosphere in a BEUTIFUL reproduction of an ancient cretan village. It was so beutiful that buses of tourists often come to the hotel for a visit. Rooms are essentials but clean. Cheap cost compared to the place. Definitively a place to recommend and where to return.

Our directions were a little unclear but we eventually found the village. We entered through a gate into a greek village. The receptionist was very friendly and walked us to our rooms, which was good because it is a little confusing at first to figure out where you are going. Taking all of our luggage to the room was a...

Want no sleep, Book this hotel! J&J Cape Town, South Africa
We booked this hotel via the Internet - based on customer reviews. Quoted as being close (15kms) to airport, we booked to have a good night's rest before our international flight.
Well - try and sleep through a Greek Baptism celebration! It is impossible unless you are deaf! This...

Dear guest
Many thanks for your review. It is really true that in some occassions the live music is a serious problem because it makes the night sleep hard. At the same time many people find that watching a live event with many traditions of the island and sharing the happiness of the new couple is also a unique experience....

I chose to stay at Arolithos to experience the Cretan culture rather than just stay at any old hotel. I am glad I stayed there, but I was also glad that I had only booked 2 nights there.
The village itself is quite charming, the receptionist was extremely friendly, breakfast was adequate, dinner in the restaurant was very inexpensive and...
