Let the rhythm of Crete guide you — rest the shade, a sip of sun, a
taste of morning.
deeply at Troulis Apart Hotel and discover
the quiet charm that surrounds it.

Some places don’t ask for your attention —
they earn it in quiet ways. A breeze through the olive trees, the
slow murmur of waves curling over pebbles, the soft clink of a
coffee cup set down in the early light. This is Bali, Crete — not
a destination, but a state of mind.
Up on the hillside, Troulis Apart-Hotel doesn’t shout its pres-
ence. It blends into the rhythm of the land — welcoming, un-
pretentious, and deeply rooted in what matters: comfort, calm,
and connection. Here, mornings unfold slowly with a breakfast
crafted from Cretan hands, and rooms come with just enough
to let you live freely — your own little kitchen, your own slice of
view, your own pace.
The pools offer stillness, or laughter. Your call. And this year, a
new way to slow down: the Wellness Spot — our serene spa
sanctuary where body and spirit unwind. In collaboration with
the award-winning Ariadne Athens, indulge in deeply restor-
ative treatments inspired by the island’s nature and ancient
Greek philosophy. From the invigorating Jet Lag Recovery ritual
to the Melting Sensation Candle Massage or the Cretan-infused
Greek Touch Deep Tissue, each experience is designed to bring
balance, energy, and renewal. And when you feel the tug of
curiosity, our team will point you toward paths worth wander-
ing — into the mountains, where monasteries still hold the scent
of incense, or toward caves echoing with myth and memory.
In the village below, tradition hasn’t been tidied up for show. It’s
alive, stubborn and proud — in the way a fisherman untangles
his nets, in the rhythm of a taverna at dusk, in the warm wel-
come of shopkeepers who’ve seen generations pass through
these narrow lanes.
And when the day fades? Let the lights of Rethymno or Herak-
lion draw you in for a while. Both cities hum with energy and
history, easy to reach, impossible to forget. But they’ll always
lead you back — to this quieter corner of Crete, where the sky
opens wide, and the sea keeps your secrets.
Troulis Apart-Hotel isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s where you
pause, breathe, and belong. •
