The Kalimera Archanes Village is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Achanes, just 15km from Heraklion. It comprises three listed buildings, which have been recently renovated in harmony with the architectural style of the village. The traditional element in its decoration and furnishing meets the functionality and comfort of a contemporary hotel, offering guests unique moments of relaxation.
The Village breakfast offers a wide selection of traditional dishes, starting with traditional herbal beverages, such as chamomile and “erondas”, and fresh orange juice. As for bakery products, there are various types of bread from a local bakery, “dakos” barley rusk and sesame biscuits with oil. Guests should really try the jams, such as plum with olive oil and honey, orange with verbena and strawberry. Local honey with thyme and yoghurt paired with honey or spoon sweets are also served. Other delicacies include gruyere with honey, “athotyros” cheese, “kefalotyri” cheese and the local variety of Archanes olives. The breakfast buffet also serves eggs or omelet with “apaki” (smoked pork), sausage with leek and “ksydato”. For dessert, the sweet “tiganites” (pancakes) with honey are highly recommended.
