"We had the most amazing stay at Socrates Apartments in Milatos, Crete. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped, with a breathtaking sea view that we never got tired of admiring. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from our balcony was pure magic. The restaurant was another highlight – every meal was fresh, delicious, and full of authentic Cretan flavors. It felt like dining with family, with so much love and care put into every dish. The location couldn’t be better – peaceful and right by the water, yet within easy reach of everything you need. Milatos itself is charming and relaxing, a hidden gem far away from the crowds. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the people. The warmth, kindness, and hospitality we received were beyond anything we’ve experienced before. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and by the end of our stay, it felt like we were leaving friends behind rather than just a holiday spot. We can’t recommend Socrates Apartments enough – it’s the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, amazing food, and the most wonderful hosts. We are already dreaming about coming back! ❤️"

"The location and facilities are fantastic. The view and sunset is breathtaking, the pools and sunbeds are nice and not overly crowded and the beautiful flowers and trees all over. We stayed the first week in a 2BR villa with 3 adults and two children. It was nice and spacious with lots of privacy as the rooms were in opposite ends of the villa. We had the most lovely cleaning lady Mirela who met us with the biggest smile every day. The next week we stayed in an Island suite with a jacuzzi and sea view. Also a very nice room. The service on the hotel overall is not 5 stars which is such a pity. The reception is strict and not accommodating, and the hotel is clearly understaffed in the buffet, beach bar etc. constantly running out of stuff (ice creme, drinks etc), and the ala cart often also is out of stuff. I also dislike that there are no cocktails included in the AI (pina colada, mojito) - paying customers get nice glasses and AI get plastic cups all day. I really wish the hotel would staff up and stop all the unnecessary restrictions. The staff is clearly under too much pressure, which makes the guests unhappy and so it continues. The main buffet also needs more food and stuff, if you are not there when they open half of the stuff will be out (meats, desserts etc). A few people standout though: George and Minela in the Pool bar, Nick in the Payot, Jaruz in breakfast coffee, Abdul in the pancake stand, and Dora in the reception. "
