Archanes Village in Crete offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Cretan culture and hospitality. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, this village exudes charm with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
During my stay, I was captivated by the rich history and authenticity that permeates every corner of Archanes. Exploring the village revealed hidden gems, from ancient ruins to quaint cafes serving delicious local cuisine.
The accommodations were impeccable, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Whether staying in a historic hotel or a charming stone house, every detail was meticulously curated to ensure a memorable experience.
The genuine hospitality of the locals further enhanced my stay. From friendly greetings in the village square to recommendations for exploring the surrounding area, their warmth made me feel like a welcomed guest.
Archanes Village is a true gem in Crete, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this remarkable island. I cannot wait to return and continue exploring all that this charming village has to offer.

Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere.
Archanes is located right in the middle of nowhere. Okay, it's quite close to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos. But if you want to go to the beaches, you have a choice between terribly crowded beaches around Heraklion, and God forbid, Malia... probably the most disgustingly overcrowded beach we've ever seen, or the beaches on the south of the island, which are accessible through winding mountain roads that can be quite challenging to navigate with a weak engine, like the Peugeot 108 we rented.
The best option is the beaches to the west of Matala, which are a bit over an hour away via Road 97 through Heraklion, leading to Kommos Beach just west of Matala. Matala, although charming, is terribly crowded, while Kommos offers a wide expanse of pebbles with an incredible stereo effect: the sound of waves and the "singing" of cicadas. So you can spend a day at Kommos Beach, having quite a spacious area around you and only the sounds of nature, and in the evening, you can go to Matala for dinner, enjoying a charming but not as spectacular as the Polish Baltic Sea sunsets.

Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion.
Archanes is a beautiful village not far from Iraklion. It has great restaurants, beautiful scenery a well curated archaeological museum and many nearby attractions including Knossos.
We stay here each time we come to Crete as it is a really relaxed Cretan village. It is accessible by car and bus from Iraklion. Narrow laneways and hilly terrain make it a walker’s dream location.

Such a lovely property - characterful, clean and comfortable. Wished we had been there in the summer so we could have enjoyed the pool. Staff very helpful. Excellent breakfast. Great restaurants in the village. We ate i Agora, which we loved. Fantastic food, excellent wine (made by the owners) and extremely good value for money. Can't recommend highly enough.

My wife and I Really liked the house we stayed in the service we got and the people we interacted were just fantastic we had absolute good memory for life by staying in Archanes and I would definitely recommend it to friends and I hope to be back.,
The Villa is wonderful, just as looks at the pictures, also clean and all the facilities are in perfect condition. We had star type of traveling all over the Crete due to the wining central location of the Villa. Just sorry that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the place due to our intensive plan for this vacation. The staff is very friendly and responsive (the small problem with the lights in the kitchen was fixed immediately once communicated), thanks a lot! Highly recommend and we will be tentatively visiting again.
Beautiful room ! Stayed in the sympathetically restored house. Fantastic standard, clean, fresh, tastefully furnished in a simple but artful Cretan style. (Restoration finished Sep 2023)
Archanes is such a pretty old village, retaining much of its historic charm. Carpe Diem is an excellent choice to use as a base for visiting Knossos and other areas of Iraklion . We also explored beaches to the north, some with Tavernas and beach bars offering free sun beds to customers.
We hope to return soon 👍
Great, spacious, and clean villa in a gorgeous location. If you dream of looking over the pool into the vineyards below, then this is the place for you. Renting a car is a must. Archanes is a great village and escape from Heraklion, but close enough for all the day trips. Some really good food and delicious bakeries in town, as well. Fofi was very helpful in helping us plan out stay. Look forward to staying again!
This was a beautifully restored old house right in the center of Archanes, minutes from the town square. Our room was very quiet and comfortable. Every detail was perfect. Eleni and Maria were both so kind, helping us find parking and sorting thru my mistake of showing up a day late!
Archanes was a lovely traditional village in the wine country. Definitely worth a visit, and carpe diem is the perfect place to stay.
We loved everything about this villa! From the warm and genuine hospitality of Vasilis and his family, to the authentic accommodation (in which every detail that a traveler might need has been thoughtfully addressed), to the delicious homemade breakfast! Archanes is a wonderful mountain town that shared with us a glimpse into the true Cretan lifestyle.
The property was very well located, very clean and well equiped. The traditional house was.quiet and charming with it’s own courtyard and located near to Archanes central square where we ate each night in the open air. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from. Our host was easy to contact and very helpful. A great base from which to explore Crete.
Archanes is fabulous - the best place I visited on Crete - and this little apartment just a couple mins walk from the main square and bars was fabulous. I’d stay here again (and would encourage friends to book the other apartments too ) and very much hope to visit Archanes again one day!
the highest quality property we have ever stayed in. Great opportunity to stay in an authentic Crete town with close access to Knossos Palace and the coast. Wonderful restaurant within the hotel that provided great food. The staff were so genuinely friendly too.
Beautiful and comfortable room in the centre of Archanes. Eirini was incredibly welcoming and brought some delicious homemade treats. Gorgeous courtyard and a cool room with original and stylish decor. We absolutely loved it! Thank you Eirini!
Beautifully renovated apartment in the centre of Archanes - a friendly and authentic village. Our host was very nice and helpful. The apt had everything we needed with lots of shops, bakeries and restaurants very close. Highly recommend!
Everything was perfect. The house is beautiful and in a wonderful position. Highly recommended to visit Archanes and the winery region. We were there during a big earthquake and we fell really safe because the house is new and solid.
The boutique aspect of the hotel was great and it looked just like the pictures. The room we had was very spacious and had a very interesting layout which we liked a lot. The staff were friendly and gave us a lot of recommendations.
Beautiful village of Archanes. The hosts were lovely people and the husband spoke good English. Breakfast, on the morning we ate it, was very good. The location, although a bit hard to find, was beautiful.
Beautiful village, location and staff were fabulous. The updated portion of the hotel; the part they advertise in the booking is spectacular and super quality- we just did not get to stay in that part.
The employees of the hotel are super helpful and friendly.
The building, gardens and pool are very well maintained, the stone work is very pretty and the place has a rustic atmosphere.
...that I returned after a week with my wife to enjoy the cozy feeling of this place. Also, the small town of Archanes was the best place to see Cretan life and mingle with locals.
