Every time a guest “feed” us with a comment, a smile or a drawing, one of our most important goals is achieved!
Loyalty to our guests returns to us, in the most beautiful way. Our aim is to provide an integrated experience (cultural, social, taste) to every visitor who trusts us…
And in this case, we have done it well! Thank you, Anita for your wonderful work.

The traditional Greek coffee shop is an old institution of the Greek society. At first, it was dedicated almost exclusively to men. It is a place of gathering for card games, sports and politics talk and of course, tasting Greek coffee, handmade sweets and tasty appetizers to accompany your wine and raki.
A loud and alive place, where everything is in movement, noise from chatting and disagreements, but also a place to reminisce about the old times.
«In our village’s coffee shop, with the wood burning stove, the traditional delights, the sweet smelling coffee and the daily chats…»
….are certainly vivid images for the elders and stories for the younger and it describes perfectly our own little coffee shop «Η ωραία Κρήτη».
Wooden chairs and corresponding tables, heat from the stove, sweet and salty tastes for merrymakers «μερακλήδες» as we call them. The complimentary food and drinks of our menu are made with pure ingredients and always served with a smile at exceptionally low prices!
…and during the summer
The same warm and quaint atmosphere, is maintained during the summer as well, where we transfer in the coffee shop’s patio. The briskness and the shadow offered by the trees in combination with the calm and the sounds of nature, constitute Arolithos the ideal countryside getaway, where the visitors can enjoy their favorite beverage along with local handmade products!
What else can I do in Arolithos?
Combine your coffee stroll with a nice walk in our scenic pathways, pay a visit in our Agricultural Museum, as well as, the traditional workshops!

Αγαπητοί μας φίλοι,
Έχοντας υψηλά το αίσθημα της συλλογικής ευθύνης, προχωρήσαμε σε άμεση αναστολή λειτουργίας του Αρόλιθου του παραδοσιακού κρητικού χωριού, βοηθώντας έτσι στην προσπάθεια που γίνεται για την προάσπιση της δημόσιας υγείας! Ήταν αυτό που έπρεπε να κάνουμε για την ασφάλεια των πελατών και των εργαζομένων!
#Μένουμε Σπίτι και συνεχίζουμε την επαφή μας από εκεί!
To www.cretaneshop.gr
Τηρούμε από την πρώτη στιγμή την προετοιμασία των παραγγελιών σας, οι οποίες απολυμαίνονται σχολαστικά πριν την αποστολή τους! (Όταν παραλάβετε ας γίνει κι από εσάς μια απολύμανση και παρακαλώ να φοράτε γάντια μιας χρήσης)
Αυτές τις δύσκολες στιγμές προτεραιότητα έχει η υγειά όλων μας!
Επίσης προϊόντα που δεν μπορούν να βρεθούν από τους προμηθευτές (λόγω αναστολής λειτουργίας της εταιρείας) αντικαθίστανται αν είναι εφικτό από ίδια εναλλακτικά προϊόντα, πάντα με τη σύμφωνη γνώμη σας. Ζητάμε την ευγενική κατανόηση σας που πάντα μας στηρίζετε!
Μπορείτε να επικοινωνείτε μαζί μας μέσα από τα Social Media μας ενώ παραμένουμε στη διάθεσή σας μέσω ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου (eshop@arolithos.
Μη το βάζετε κάτω, σιγά σιγά τελειώνουμε….. όλοι μαζί και αγαπημένοι θα τα καταφέρουμε!
Με σεβασμό και εκτίμηση

It is known as the “Black Gold” of Crete and its name is Carob!
Carob is native to the eastern Mediterranean, where it has been in cultivation for at least 4000 years. The plant was well known to the ancient Greeks, who planted seeds of this plant in in the southern parts of Greece and mainly in Crete.
the carob tree
Seeds were used to weight gold, therefore the word “carat.” As ancient traders traveled around the Mediterranean and surrounding areas, they turned to the carob bean as a unit of measurement. A gemstone would be weighed and put onto a balance, the other side would have carob seeds on it. A stone that balanced 5 seeds was said to weigh 5 seeds – then 5 carobs – then 5 carats.
carob
When the fruit of carob is unripe, its color is green and then it’s become brown. The fruit of carob is 15 to 30 centimeters in length and is fairly thick and broad.
Carob also has excellent nutritional value! It contains Magnesium, Calcium, Iron and also vitamins A, B, and D. It also has medicinal uses including the treatment of coughs, common cold and anemia. Because of the usefulness of Carob, there are a wide range of products from its fruits.
For example the carob syrup, Charoupomelo is the Greek name, is an natural sweet drink made by grinding the carob pods and then extracting the syrup by boiling the powder in hot water. Used in Crete as a natural sweetener, and is considered a natural source of calcium. It contains three times more calcium than milk and it can be used as a sweetener for hot and cold drinks, yogurt, ice cream, cakes etc.
Charoupomelo
Carob is an excellent alternative to chocolate! You can use the syrup, the same way as you would chocolate in almost all recipes. And you can enjoy your favorite sweet treats with fewer calories, fat, and sugar!!!
