    Very nice & new concept of having a hotel in a functional village which is so traditional & picturesque, v warm and welcoming staff... overall a nice experience. Only must have is a hired car at your disposal which the hotel can arrange at reasonable price.

    The hotel is super,we were warmly welcomed. In fact, the hotel is like a park. But the bus is not frequent. Except that, all is wonderful. If I return to Crete, it is centain that I will stay in this hotel.

    Acceuil charmant, ambiance unique lors d'une soirée donnée à l'occasion d'un baptème au restaurant de l'hôtel.Il vaut 100 fois mieux séjourner dans ce type d'hôtel a 10 min du centre d'Héraklion, dans un cadre bucolique plutôt que dans la ville même. A conseiller sans la moindre réserve ! Un grand merci à la famille qui tient cet hôtel.

    Excellent hotel. The relationship between price/quality is high. The location (not much kilometres from Heraklion) it's perfect to visit the city and near Cnosso, but it alloows to stay in a delicious place (a traditional cretan village) where it's possible to have relax and a good cuisine. We hope to come back.

    Excellent property for reasonable price. It is a traditional Cretan village with real Cretan atmosphere. Very friendly staff, good buffet breakfast, big rooms. It can be reached by car, most of all. The proporty is located in the mountains, in a beautiful place. In the evening we saw Heraclion's lights from the balcony. Heraclion is only 15 minutes by car on the New Road. Some days there was loud music in the restaurant, but this music doesn't disturb us. Most of the rooms are far form the restaurant. If somebody wants to stay in a lovely place near to Heraclion, Arolithos is a very good choice.

    We really liked this place! Not a fancy place but clean and a wonderful mood and breakfast. You really do need a car to come and go but it is worth the trip back and forth. The potter on location was a pleasure to watch at her wheel. We couldn't have been more pleased. David and Judy Geisser

    The road map you suggest to get from Heraklion Airport tyo the Hotel is very difficult to follow. It brings downtown, in the traffic. It takes about 30 minutes. The following takes about 15 minutes, no traffic, no town. Simply, highway. I suggest: out of airport, turn left. Take the National Road (Highway free toll) - direction Rethymnos. Get the 3rd Exit (Gazi). Turn left, direction Alissos. Always straight for about 6 km. The Hotel is on the road.

    Excellent quiet location 10-15 min drive out of Heraklion.Masses of character. Charming beautiful buildings. Food mediocre quality especially breakfast. Wednesday night is the greek evening and although this is entertaining, coachloads of tourists arrive which affects the tranquillity. Hotel guests have reserved seats and dedicated waiters so ervice is not really affected. Generally an excellent relaxing beginning to touring holiday in Crete.

    Further from Heraklion than we thought. As we are non drivers, it was difficult to find things to do in day as really you go for the greek traditional evening festivities-these were great and best value and quality food on our two week venture. Good greek experience.

    HOW TO REACH THE HOTEL
    By car
    From Heraklion's city centre reach Elefterias square, which is close to the Archaeological Museum, and take Dikeossinis street. Continue straight and then take Kalokerinou avenue all the way down to Porta Hanion. Cross over the bridge and go straight to 62 Martiron avenue. Keep driving and when you reach a junction continue straight (do not follow the way to Carefour). When you reach the village of Gazi, proceed straight towards the village of Anogia. You will see the hotel on your right.

    By airplane
    The Heraklion N. Kazantzakis international airport lies about 15 km away from the property and is serviced by all major airlines. Bus and taxi services connect the airport to Heraklion city centre, to Servili Tilissou and to the hotel.
    Exit the airport and follow the New National Road towards Heraklion-Rethimnon. After the traffic lights, keep driving in the same direction until the second crossroad. When you see the signs to the villages of Gazi and Anogia, turn right following the indications to Anogia. Go straight along the road and you will find the property on your right.

    By bus
    A frequent bus service, with daily runs to Servili Tilissou, leaves from the Chaniopoorta bus station in Heraklion city centre and stops just outside the hotel.

    By boat
    There are daily ferry and high-speed ferry services connecting the Athens port of Piraeus to the harbour of Heraklion, located about 12 km away from the hotel. Taxis are easily found at the end of the wharf.
