Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village

We just came for a week and I can say this is one of the best places I have ever visited. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the pool was cool and refreshing and the hotel was stunning. We didn't want to leave! thank you making our much needed holiday amazing! thank you to you all again!

We toured the village from our cruise ship and did not stay in any rooms. However, the experience was AMAZING! Beautiful and quaint village to walk around. Seeing the 'museum rooms' was so fun and enlightening. The food they served us for lunch was so fresh and tasty! The dancers were great. I joined them even though it was 98 degrees.

It’s a very lovely place. If you don’t want to live directly in the city that’s the perfect alternative. The breakfast is incredible and it’s very charming everywhere. The view is amazing und you get everywhere really fast. But you will need a car.

My wife and I recently took a NCL cruise of Greece, and Turkey, and our tour of this lovely ancient village was the absolute highlight of our entire vacation!!!!!

A beautiful cretan village with amazing activities and beautiful museum of old cretan rooms .I was very impressed of the resembles with other European south est old villages. I visited Arolithos every year I have a holiday in Amoudara,relax to the pool and enjoy the traditional cretan food. This year I was very disappointed that I couldn't find there Cristina. I asked for her. She was amazing in all she was doing for the guests. It was a pleasure to see her every year!!!Hope she will be back. Arolithos is not the same without her.

This is not like a regular hotel, but a unique place to stay. As the name goes, it resembles a picturesque Cretan village and it is a pleasure to stroll down the streets. Since it is located in the middle of nowhere, I would recommend the half board option that includes dinner. Food is delicious, mostly Cretan cuisine, and the waiter’s attention couldn’t be better, both warm and professional. |The swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. The only drawback is that the rooms could do with some upgrading, since the replication of old village conditions needn’t be taken beyond the guests rooms doors. This said, the room had a small fridge and the air conditioning worked properly (a must since it can get quite hot in Crete).|I would definitely come back to Arolithos.

Lovely quirky place to stay. Simple rooms but with lots of traditional-style features, great views and a relaxed atmosphere.

I don't have the right words for this place. It's everything you imagine from a Cretan village and more. An absolutely amazing location, great staff and a fantastic place to have the most beautiful wedding imaginable. The whole place is gorgeous.
