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!

Super welcoming and helpful hosts who wanted to ensure their guests had the best experience. Small but perfectly equipped studio size apartment for two, with everything needed for overnight or short self catering stay, all modern conveniences and supersize very comfy bed on the upper floor. Size and decor in country cottage style. Apartments situated in courtyard around pool. Quiet and peaceful location. Superb breakfast provided on patio for additional charge. Lovely location in small steep hillside historical town with plenty of tavernas shops and small supermarkets close to main square. Situated a short drive from Heraklion and Knossos and in pretty countryside. We only booked a night but really wished we could have stayed for longer. Strongly recommended.

What a gem! We stayed at Eliathos for 10 days, and it was the perfect base for us to explore the local surroundings and the charming town of Archanes, as well as easily accessible day trips to Heraklion, Knossos, Chania, Diktaion Cave and Agia Pelagia. The stunning surroundings and peaceful atmosphere of this residence provided a lovely place for us to spend days by the pool in between the longer day trips. The facilities were excellent, with each residence fully equipped with everything we needed. The staff were extremely helpful (especially Nikos, who gave us lots of helpful tips and suggestions) and made it feel like a home from home. Would highly recommend Eliathos for short or long stays in Crete.

Great apartment with everything you need in a lovely little village. The private balcony is a nice place to relax and enjoy the view and the pool area is great for relaxing on a hot day. Everything was clean, new and the apertment is nicely decorated. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner even bought our 3 year old a small potty to use at the apartment. Would 100% recommend!

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.

A lovely, split-level converted traditional building with lots of space and a sweet interior garden/patio area. Archanes is a great village with a lively square full of locals (nearly all men!) And the centre is an easy walk down the hill. There is a good choice of great value bars and restaurants - cheaper than the more touristsy towns. A good place to stay while visiting Knossos and Heraklion, without the crowds.
