• Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village - We are delighted to invite you to Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village, one of Crete’s most picturesque locations. Stroll through the charming streets, explore the premises, and visit the museum showcasing our family’s collection of antique items. Step back in time as we tour two historic houses.

Next, join us at the taverna where we will prepare a variety of delicious dishes together, all part of our regular diet. Traditional Cretan cuisine is renowned as one of the healthiest in the world. Here, you can learn the secrets behind each dish and get hands-on experience. Create stuffed vine leaves, stuffed vegetables, pork with wine sauce, lamb with green beans, ntakos, tzatziki, and cheese pies. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform us in advance so we can adjust the menu accordingly.

Enjoy the dishes you’ve crafted, accompanied by local wine and mineral water. The taverna offers a panoramic view of the nearby valley and Heraklion City. Our host and team are dedicated to making you feel welcome and ensuring you have a memorable experience.
