Kamihis Farm House Experience, hotel in Zarós

Offering a garden and garden view, Kamihis Farm House Experience is situated in Zarós, 43 km from Heraklion Archaeological Museum and 46 km from The Palace of Knossos.

This property is more than simply a farm stay. Our hosts were so warm, welcoming and passionate about show casing the traditional Cretan way of life. The property was superb and had everything we could have wanted. The location in a secluded mountain valley with a working farm was superb.

Olympic Hotel, hotel in Zarós

Located in the area of Moires, Olympic Hotel offers spacious accommodation with a private balcony and free Wi-Fi access. It has a café bar and it is a 10-minute drive away from the nearest beaches.

Easy to find and no trouble checking in. Nice lady at reception showed us 2 rooms, one at the front of the hotel and one at the back. We opted for the rear room away from the main road. Double glazing kept any other noise out well and the aircon was quiet so a good night sleep was had. Room a good size, clean, comfortable bed and decent shower room..hooray! Included breakfast was a bit indifferent but some nice pastries and coffee.

    This came a bit randomly in our trip and we’re glad it did.

    This came a bit randomly in our trip and we’re glad it did. We loved Zaros for both the warmth of its people and the beauty of its decor. Our hike in Rouvas was great and every encounter was like it was family members. One of the highlights of our trip to Creta. If you like getting closer to people and their culture it’s a must on your list. If you’re into more attractions or shopping this one is not for you.

    A very nice area of olive groves and brush from 500 m up where you can go hiking right from the hotel (Agios Ethimnios, Rouvas Gorge) or from Lake Votomos. You can also visit monasteries (in particular Vrontisi monastery). Plenty of good and very affordable tavernas around.

    Zaros is a very nice village with good food (I highly recommend Vegera tavern- I got a delicious fish with different salads, fries, pasta, bread, olives, wine and dessert for only 15 euro, everything was so delicious and the owner is so nice and kind, she gave me advice on what to see near Zaros etc.), well ecquiped shops, 2 gas stations, nice architecture, coffee shops, hotels (recommended espetially Keramos hotel! - the owners hosted me at their farm but I also saw the hotel and it is amazing!), sourranded by the mountains. Very calm place, where it is nice to walk (there is a famous lake near). There is also a beautiful monastery not far from the village. It is easy to reach the seashore (30 mins by car). I espetially recommend Komos and Agiofarago beaches.

    Quiet mountain town famous for plentiful supply of mineral water. Very friendly helpful locals. Great views of soaring mountains above. Centre for many fine Cretan natural products from dried herbs to Olive Oils. Try the local Trout for Dinner.

    A very small community but nevertheless with Votomos lake, the gorge and nearby Festos a good location for a few days. Has supermarkets, fuel and atm. Driving in town needs caution because streets are narrow and busy.

    Zaros is a typical small Creten town with little to recommend it. The Idi Hotel is another world. I wouldn't recommend Zaros for anything. but the hotel could be used as a base for many of the activities below.

    Keramos is a beautiful family hotel in Zaros, near to Heraklion (40 minutes). Near to beaches as well. The perfect place to stay and explore the island of Creta. Well equipped studio. Katerina and Mixalis are adorable and generous. Breakfast is delicious. Children love to stay here. There are plenty of activities near: Rouvas, lake Votomos, visit to the Kamihis farm for a day of cooking, eating and enjoying cretan hospitality. Don't miss Vegera restaurant. Delicious! We truly recommend this place.

    It was a wonderful room, exactly what I saw on the photos, in the heart of the village. Very clean, renovated and really warm with brand new bathroom and air-condition. Usually in Crete, hotels of this price category are not comfortable in winter time (warm but not hot water, poor heating). This one was a bright exception. Ideal for a winter holiday on the mountains. Simple, comfortable and tasteful with amazing wooden floor and ceiling. The staff was very helpful and nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

    The apartment is located in Kato Zaros, which is a smaller part of the main village (Zaros) in the southwest of the area. Quiet location with great views towards the mountains in the west and north of the area. Very spacious with two bedrooms and a large kitchen/living area and a nice balcony facing west. Everything needed was present. Contact with the host was via messages only (key in a locker box), but Christos is very helpful and answers on requests quickly.

    The host family was exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful. A delicious homemade breakfast of traditional Cretan foods was served each morning for only 7 euros. The rooms and building were beautiful and very nicely decorated. Located near hiking trails and in a small town where walking was enjoyable. Beautiful mountain scenery from the hotel and town. A very nice restaurant (Vegera) and crêperie nearby, as well as bakeries, grocery stores, etc.

    The atmosphere of this family owned property is filled with Cretan style and love. The family welcomed us with coffee and a sweet before showing us to our room. The daughter is fluent in English, and the family is very helpful. The breakfast for 6€ is a deal, with plenty of homemade treats to choose from.

    Dimitris is a very nice & supportive host and he always has a solution for your troubles and Zaros is a village lost in the middle of the mountains. If you want to taste the real Crete far from the sea and thousands of tourists - this is the place! Good spot for hiking in Psiloritis Mountains.
