The villa

Come in. Have a look around.

Stone arches give the living room its character. Outside, the pool and olive trees may keep you busy doing very little.

The living room has space to sit together, with stone arches and a fireplace. A separate study offers another place to read or spend a little time to yourself. Use the kitchen for breakfast before heading out, or dinner when you feel like staying in.

The private pool, garden and terrace are part of your stay. Swim, read or get everyone together for a barbecue. Some days, that’s plenty of planning.

Why Ariti?

A welcome, inspired by the Odyssey

Our name comes from Arete, the queen of the Phaeacians in Homer’s Odyssey. Her household welcomed Odysseus on his journey home. We liked the idea of a place where a traveller could rest and feel welcome.

When Odysseus asks for help, Arete listens to his story. Before the night is over, she makes sure he has a bed to rest in. Here in Galatás, we hope you’ll find a place to settle in, spend time together and enjoy your visit to Crete.

You can arrive by plane. No epic voyage required.

Ariti began as Mrs. Poimenidou’s vision for a home among the olive trees. Mrs. Tiganus helped shape its colours and decoration around that vision. The villa first welcomed guests in 2014, and the house still has those personal touches today.

A table set for dinner on the terrace at Ariti Villa

Morning Coffee on the terrace, then a swim before breakfast. There’s no need to hurry when the pool is just outside.
Midday Head to Kalamaki or Glaros for a swim and lunch by the sea. Or stay by your own pool and keep the day simple.
Afternoon A book in the garden, another dip, or a wander through Chania’s old town. Leave a little room in the day to decide as you go.
Evening Prepare dinner on the barbecue and sit down together on the terrace. No reservations, no rush to leave the table.
