Гостеприимство премиум-класса
Near Heraklion, Crete, just 14 km from the city center, in the village of Archanes, is the traditional apartment complex “Troullos”. In particular, they are located in the area of Turkogeitonia where excavations revealed very interesting ruins of the Minoan period and where it is speculated that the kings of Knossos had their summer accommodation. These are 3 traditional houses, divided into apartments, dating back to 1871, as evidenced by the spilled pencil on the main door. These houses were completely restored in 2004, with respect to the local aesthetics and tradition and in order to give visitors the opportunity to get to know a piece of Cretan cultural color. Accommodation in our places is the best choice for winter or summer excursions and for lovers of traditional hospitality and nature.
