Featuring inner courtyard views, "Eirini" traditional house Creta Archanes, Αρχάνες σπίτι provides accommodation with balcony, around 10 km from The Palace of Knossos. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and bicycle parking, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The apartment features family rooms.

Eirini has single-handedly made a marvel of the traditional house. The photos don't do it justice, we were left in awe as soon as we got inside. The level of detail is astonishing and the room manages to balance between tradition and modern needs perfectly. Definitely recommend!

    Beautiful room ! Stayed in the sympathetically restored house. Fantastic standard, clean, fresh, tastefully furnished in a simple but artful Cretan style. (Restoration finished Sep 2023) Archanes is such a pretty old village, retaining much of its historic charm. Carpe Diem is an excellent choice to use as a base for visiting Knossos and other areas of Iraklion . We also explored beaches to the north, some with Tavernas and beach bars offering free sun beds to customers. We hope to return soon 👍

    We loved our stay at Villa Osteris. The location was perfect and the room was absolutely beautiful. The shared courtyard is very enchanting. All the facilities worked perfectly and the hosts were very thoughtful and attentive. When I left my powerbank in the room they emailed to let me know they found it and agreed to look after it until I could return a week later. Wonderful experience, if we are ever back in Archanes we will stay there again.

Katerina is just a perfect host. We felt like family members who came to vacation in their kit house. She patiently and warmly showed us interesting places on the island. She took care of us and answered all our requests with a smile and kindness. The place met our expectations above and beyond.

    Wonderfully renovated property in the middle of a picturesque village. The rooms and facilities are brand new and clearly thought out to give a luxury feel. The breakfast was delicious and although we didn't use the jacuzzi, it was a fantastic option to get away from the heat of the day. We were cared for with great attention and although we couldn't get a last minute late check-out, we were able to stay for a few hours under the cool trees in the garden before setting off.
