Arolithos Traditional Village Hotel - Tílisos
The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the white walls of Oia in shades of pink and gold. Eleni sat on her private balcony, a glass of local wine in hand, feeling the warm Aegean breeze. She had found this hidden gem of an apartment just steps away from the ancient ruins. Every morning, the scent of wild thyme and salty sea air greeted her. From the marble streets of Athens to the turquoise waters of Crete, her journey was a dream. This wasn't just a trip; it was a home in paradise.

The Arolithos Traditional Village Hotel occupies a cluster of buildings on the mountains outside Heraklion. Built in the late 1980s, it has been purposely designed to reproduce an authentic Cretan village and much care has been taken to recreate the atmosphere of times gone by.
In the bedrooms, modern amenities are cleverly blended with traditional . The local taverna organises Cretan nights with mouthwatering Greek food and folk dances. A number of social events are organised during summer in the open air restaurant.
The area boasts dazzling white houses with pretty turquoise windows that host several old-fashioned shops, including a blacksmith.
The hotel day starts from hour 15:00 and ends at 11:00.
