The room we stayed in was incredibly cozy yet spacious. The attention to detail in the design is beautiful, especially the lighting, which truly captures the essence of a vacation in a mountain village. The owner was exceptionally kind, helping me celebrate my wife's birthday by providing a cake and candle, along with an excellent breakfast. I highly recommend this place!

The location is beautiful and the pool is a great addition. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The apartment was spacious, eventhough we stayed in semi-basement apartment, actually it was easier to keep it cool. I would definitely recommend Eliathos Residence to my friends.

We came for a very short stay and enjoyed every moment at Arcasa villas. The villa was stunning, new with beautifully modern design, perfectly equipped, very clean and shows great attention to detail. It’s a pity we didn’t have time to use the pool, but there’s no doubt we’ll come back in the future.

We were delighted with our stay at Vin Dimora Suites. The property is on a quiet, pretty street in a lovely village. It is spacious,stylish and finished to a very high standard. All of the fixtures and fittings are of a high quality. We stayed for 3 nights before a flight out from Crete. Only 20 minutes from the airport and so much nicer than staying in Heraklion or touristy resorts. Wonderful walks, quality tavernas and friendly locals.

Everything was wonderful, but especially managment and the staff was amazing. I had to change my dates twice because of flight cancellations and they accommodated them right away and also stayed late to wait for me when I missed my connecting flight. They also offered to arrange a pick-up at the airport, but because I had a rental car, didn't need it. The room was amazing, with its unique wooden interior and scent. Very cozy. It was only a twenty miunte drive from the airport and easy to find. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Archanes Village in Crete offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Cretan culture and hospitality. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, this village exudes charm with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. During my stay, I was captivated by the rich history and authenticity that permeates every corner of Archanes. Exploring the village revealed hidden gems, from ancient ruins to quaint cafes serving delicious local cuisine. The accommodations were impeccable, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Whether staying in a historic hotel or a charming stone house, every detail was meticulously curated to ensure a memorable experience. The genuine hospitality of the locals further enhanced my stay. From friendly greetings in the village square to recommendations for exploring the surrounding area, their warmth made me feel like a welcomed guest. Archanes Village is a true gem in Crete, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this remarkable island. I cannot wait to return and continue exploring all that this charming village has to offer.

Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere.

Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere. Okay, it's quite close to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos. But if you want to go to the beaches, you have a choice between terribly crowded beaches around Heraklion, and God forbid, Malia... probably the most disgustingly overcrowded beach we've ever seen, or the beaches on the south of the island, which are accessible through winding mountain roads that can be quite challenging to navigate with a weak engine, like the Peugeot 108 we rented. The best option is the beaches to the west of Matala, which are a bit over an hour away via Road 97 through Heraklion, leading to Kommos Beach just west of Matala. Matala, although charming, is terribly crowded, while Kommos offers a wide expanse of pebbles with an incredible stereo effect: the sound of waves and the "singing" of cicadas. So you can spend a day at Kommos Beach, having quite a spacious area around you and only the sounds of nature, and in the evening, you can go to Matala for dinner, enjoying a charming but not as spectacular as the Polish Baltic Sea sunsets.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion. It has great restaurants, beautiful scenery a well curated archaeological museum and many nearby attractions including Knossos. We stay here each time we come to Crete as it is a really relaxed Cretan village. It is accessible by car and bus from Iraklion. Narrow laneways and hilly terrain make it a walker’s dream location.

Such a lovely property - characterful, clean and comfortable. Wished we had been there in the summer so we could have enjoyed the pool. Staff very helpful. Excellent breakfast. Great restaurants in the village. We ate i Agora, which we loved. Fantastic food, excellent wine (made by the owners) and extremely good value for money. Can't recommend highly enough.
