We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Archanes for one night, and it was a delightful experience. The villa is beautifully designed in traditional Cretan style, and we truly appreciated every detail in our room. It was cozy and inviting, making us feel right at home. The breakfast was a highlight of our stay—delicious homemade orange juice, eggs, and traditional Cretan products that gave us a true taste of the local cuisine. Although we didn't use the small pool, it looked like a perfect spot to relax. Archanes itself is a wonderful village to explore, offering an authentic experience of Cretan life. We enjoyed mingling with the locals, savoring the food, and immersing ourselves in the culture. If you're looking to experience the real Crete, Villa Archanes is an excellent choice!

Eliathos Residence is in a beautiful location, on the edge of the lovely village of Archanes. The gardens are immaculate, the accommodation looks like 4 houses but each is cleverly split into 3 units. Everything is immaculately clean. The staff are friendly, extremely accommodating and helpful. The pool is perfectly cool and has fabulous views over the olive groves and valley. We had a really special 2 weeks here and would definitely recommend it. We found a huge variety of beaches within a 20 mins - 1 hour drive, heading West and East along the coast. Historic sites, museums, tavernas and shops were also within easy reach.

We came for a very short stay and enjoyed every moment at Arcasa villas. The villa was stunning, new with beautifully modern design, perfectly equipped, very clean and shows great attention to detail. It’s a pity we didn’t have time to use the pool, but there’s no doubt we’ll come back in the future.

Everything was wonderful, but especially managment and the staff was amazing. I had to change my dates twice because of flight cancellations and they accommodated them right away and also stayed late to wait for me when I missed my connecting flight. They also offered to arrange a pick-up at the airport, but because I had a rental car, didn't need it. The room was amazing, with its unique wooden interior and scent. Very cozy. It was only a twenty miunte drive from the airport and easy to find. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

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 lovely, and has been renovated to a very high standard. We didn’t meet the owners/managers but had everything we needed. We had a really good time. Archanes is a good base for visiting many places, and only 20mins from the centre of Heraklion. The town itself has a number of very good tavernas, and supermarkets. The local wine is excellent Overall I would absolutely recommend Vin Dimora if you plan to visit Archanes.
