We come to Kapetania only because we know that we will be greeted with arms by Marcos and Popi in this place full of charm. Because the access is tough and once in Thalori, it is thanks to Marcos 4 x 4 that you can cross the surroundings! In short, an extremely wild place and cut off from the world! A small stone village has been completely restored and offers typical houses. The village tavern is excellent, everything is prepared with fresh products.

Large complex of 240 rooms, suites and bungalows, which form almost a village: varied restaurants, bars, tennis courts, mini golf, swimming pool, entertainment, etc. Very comfortable and shaded in the greenery. There is no shortage of activities.

The hotel was built on a hill overlooking Heraklion and its countryside. The rooms are spread around the charming village, so as to remind the small typical Cretan alleys. It is open all year round but with a reduced service in winter. 34 rooms in a traditional style, with air conditioning, a fireplace… The large outdoor swimming pool is open from May to late October. The hotel is owned by Georgis and Marika Saloustros and their four children, including Michalis who speaks French very well. In this village there is a small museum, a church, a mosaic workshop, a tavern, a souvenir shop… It organizes traditional costume evenings on Wednesdays from May to September. With some luck, you may attend a baptism or a wedding of premises.
