Tradition meets comfort and luxury in these traditional villas located in the settlement Kato Asites, hardly 20 kilometres from Heraklion City. In a space of natural beauty we created a group of stone, self-contained and completely equipped villas, with combination of stone and timber. Facilities at Asion Lithos include a swimming pool, traditional stone-sqme oven, barbecue and lush green gardens. Asion LIthos combines all that the visitor wishes for: quietness, natural environment, wonderful view, luxury and tradition. The European Mountaineering Path E4 is near the hotel, for those who plan to stretch their legs on the rugged terrain. After an energetic walk, have a barbecue back at Asion Lithos and enjoy the unique wine of Asites.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Asion Lithos, located at Kato Asites, Heraklio, Crete, 70013, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Asion Lithos, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Asion Lithos are revisited so often.
