WHERE LIVING

The kind of room you enter quietly FEELS LIGHTER
and immediately feel at ease.

Troulis Apart Hotel invites you to settle in and stay at your own pace.

Not everything needs to announce itself to be memorable.
Bali, on Crete’s north coast, is a place defined by balance, between sea and
mountains, tradition and ease, movement and pause. It’s a traditional fishing
village that lives at its own tempo, where the day is guided by light, weather,
and appetite rather than alarms.
Set above the sheltered bay of Bali, Troulis Apart Hotel offers a stay shaped
by authenticity, comfort, and a genuine sense of belonging. Family-owned
and personally run, the hotel reflects a way of hospitality that feels instinctive
rather than rehearsed — attentive, warm, and quietly thoughtful. The Troulis
family remains closely involved in the daily life of the hotel, ensuring a level of
care that guests immediately feel, guided by local knowledge, discretion, and
a sincere desire to make every stay effortless. It naturally appeals to couples,
families, and independent travelers who value calm, character, and a slower
rhythm of travel.
Built into the hillside, the hotel blends harmoniously with its surroundings.
Whitewashed forms, open terraces, and generous views frame the deep blue
of the bay below, allowing the sea to become part of everyday life rather
than a distant backdrop.
The studios and apartments are designed for flexibility and comfort, combin-
ing modern conveniences with understated Greek character. Most have been
recently renovated and feature fully equipped kitchenettes, inviting interiors,
and private balconies or terraces overlooking the sea, the village, or the sur-
rounding landscape. The atmosphere feels residential rather than hotel-like,
offering privacy and space to settle in, whether you are traveling as a couple,
with family, or as part of a group.
Dining follows the same unforced rhythm. Guests may choose to explore the
village’s tavernas, prepare their own meals, or begin the day with a continental
breakfast served at the rooftop restaurant. As the day fades, the rooftop bar
becomes a relaxed gathering point, offering cocktails, and wine in an atmo-
sphere shaped by soft light, open skies, and the quiet hum of the bay below.
Two communal swimming pools offer space for both stillness and shared
moments, surrounded by comfortable loungers and a calm, sun-filled setting.
Just a short walk away, Varkotopos Beach opens onto a sandy bay with
clear, shallow waters, ideal for unhurried swims and especially welcoming for
families.
For guests who wish to maintain an active routine, a fully equipped fitness
room is available, offering flexibility and balance throughout their stay.
