The architecture and design of the property reflect authentic Cretan culture, with stone-paved paths and rustic decor that create an inviting and warm atmosphere.

One of the main advantages of staying at Arolithos is its cultural richness. Guests have the opportunity to participate in traditional Cretan activities, such as cooking classes and folk dance lessons, enhancing their understanding of local traditions. The on-site restaurant serves authentic Cretan cuisine made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, providing a genuine taste of Crete.

Its location near Heraklion makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions like the Palace of Knossos and Heraklion Archaeological Museum. These sites offer a glimpse into ancient history and are just a short drive away. Additionally, visitors can explore the beautiful Amoudara Beach or visit the nearby village of Fodele, birthplace of painter El Greco.

However, Arolithos may not appeal to those seeking modern luxury amenities. Its focus on tradition means some facilities might lack contemporary comforts found in standard hotels.
