Museums aren't all dusty shelves and drab displays. Head to Nikos Kazantzakis Museum and be inspired, educated and entertained. Each piece has a story waiting for you to discover.

Nikos Kazantzakis Museum is an interesting place to start out your day in Archanes-Asterousia. This museum is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Palace of Knossos, Heraklion Archaeological Museum, and Natural History Museum of Crete to really experience what's on offer in the area.

9/10 Wonderful! (8 reviews)

Naiades Boutique Beach Hotel is finished to good taste and a high standard, and we really enjoyed our time here in September 24. We loved the quiet and relaxing setting, and dining and sunbed area set on a private beach front. It's perfect for getting away from everything, and a few km from Plaka and Elounda in either direction. The breakfasts were amazing as were the staff who couldn't do enough for us. In particular Eirini went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and special. We'll be back one day !

This hotel, like many others marked as “VIP Access,” offers no real benefits. Despite clear upgrade availability the night before check-in, we were told nothing was available once we mentioned VIP status—a recurring pattern where upgrades are consistently denied using vague excuses. If a non-VIP guest wanted to pay, I’m certain a room would have been available. There was no recognition, no perk, no welcome amenity—nothing. Even after raising the issue with guest relations, no effort was made to address it. Additionally, the advertised valet parking doesn’t exist and isn’t needed—it’s just misleading. This feels more like a marketing trick than a real program. I strongly urge you to review and remove this hotel from the VIP Access list.
