Situated in Archanes, Fοivos and Athina Villas features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a barbecue. The accommodation has a jetted shower system.

The units provide views of the garden and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen for an extra charge.

The view from the top of the steep hill is spectacular; from every room one can see the ocean and mountains. It is very quiet and private, and the property is lovely. The washing machine was not as large as I had hoped but the shower was fine. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Parking was ample and easy on the property. There are excellent restaurants a short drive away. The kitchen could use a few more items for preparing meals. Four of us spent two nights quite comfortably.

Kalimera Archanes Village, located in the picturesque village of Archanes, approximately 15km away from Herakleion, offers fully equipped traditional accommodation.

All accommodation, consisting of independent buildings according to the local architectural style, combines modern amenities and functionality with traditional elements.

It's truly a pleasure to return to this stunning historic hotel nestled in the heart of Archanes. This time, we had the pleasure of staying at the Avra stone house. It was incredibly spacious and tastefully decorated with beautiful furniture and paintings. The cleanliness was impeccable. Moreover, the owner made several enhancements to ensure our comfort: new mattress toppers, updated amenities (we especially enjoyed the cosmetics from Apivita and the espresso machine), and improved lighting. Additionally, we were provided with a private parking slot just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. Michael greeted us there and personally escorted us to the house. He also kindly made a dinner reservation for us at a restaurant. We are already looking forward to returning this summer. Thank you so much for the exceptional hospitality, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit.

    During our recent visit to the picturesque village of Arcanes in Greece, my mother and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful maisonette. From the moment we arrived, our contact person Konstantinos warmly welcomed us and provided us with assistance throughout our stay. The maisonette was very clean, comfortable and has a collection of beautiful antiquity objects representing various regions of Greece. Each item seemed to have its own unique story to tell, adding an extra layer of charm and authenticity to our experience.

    Manili is a true gem, located in a beautiful village very close to Heraklion where the traditional old architecture blends in with the new. The Suites are stunning and very clean, and we really enjoyed our private terrace where we could order cocktails from Manili Bistro on room service. Breakfast is great, including a variety of local delicacies and pastries which we absolutely loved! Staff is very friendly and willing to help in anything you ask. We will 100% be back sometime soon!
