The best accommodations Crete

Magnificent hotel, full of charm and romance, renovated in 2017. The owners have converted and restored this former 15th century Dominican monastery, which passed through the hands of the Venetians who renovated it and then the Ottomans who also contributed their stone to the building. The rooms offer all the comfort and charm of this kind of establishment. The Veneto restaurant is also an excellent gastronomic address, especially for its wine cellar.

This th century village, with its small stone houses, offers not only traditional habitat accommodation but also a true ecological lifestyle. In the early 1980 s, people gathered together to restore this village lost in the hills of a particularly green nature, to offer a form of ecotourism with European Community funds. A little the equivalent of hostels in France. This farming community cultivates organic products, recycle and has chosen to live in harmony with nature… Spring water at the tap of the bathroom, wood heating… in addition to the radiator. And for some time, electricity in the rooms! Also a tavern serving quality dishes with products from or around the production. Order your eyes closed, everything is succulent! It is also in this tavern that the guests'very rich breakfast is served. People who choose to stay can participate in the activities of the village: collecting, planting, making the raki… or leaving the area on foot.

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.
