About Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village
Hotel Details
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 (06/08 EP). There is a medium sized reception area where clients are welcomed.
Short
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.
Location
The Arolithos Village is situated about 10 kilometres from the city of Heraklion. The Minoan palace of Knossos is just a short drive away. To reach Arolithos by car, take the highway exit to GAZI and ANOGIA and keep on driving towards Anogia.
