    Archanes Village in Crete offers an enchanting escape into...

    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.

    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.

    About 10 min drive to Elafonissi beach. A full house with 2 floors, and access to pools, smaller is also for children. 2 bathrooms, bath, also one big balcony on second floor. Fantastic sunset from pool floor, or from your balcony 😍. Big kitchen room, with all necessary. Option to order breakfast to your room and enjoy it outside. We have got a very good price (I think lastminute offer). Hotel have a small store at downstairs. Nice host. :)

    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 our cozy apartment, the wonderful breakfasts, and pool. The beds were really comfortable and we liked being in the mountains which cool off so nicely in the evenings. Villa Archanes is in a beautiful neighborhood in a charming, authentic Crete village with great walks, restaurants, wineries, and olive farms nearby. We were in Greece for two weeks and Villa Archanes was by far my favorite place I stayed.

    This is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful town. We stayed here to visit Knossos which is nearby, but the visit to Archanes turned out to be the highlight! The rooms are lovely and the restoration of this old house has been carried out with great care. The owner Eleni is lovely and helpful and creates a friendly atmosphere at the hotel. Don’t hesitate to visit!

    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.

    We were so happy to be in Archanes, which was quiet with an interesting museum and old town, away from the busyness of Heraklion. Still so close to Knossos and with its own archeological treasures and contributions to the museum in Heraklion.
