We spent two nights in Milia, and we liked the stone houses and the interior decoration. The setting is also beautiful: lots of trees and greenery around. The wooden furniture in our room needed a bit of dusting and the windows (at least one of them) needed a mosquito net. There were no mosquitoes when we were there but there... more

I had originally wished to stay at Milia before leaving Japan. However, as we were told by staff of the Milia Retreat via email that if we wanted to visiti Samaria Gorge, Milia was not a convenient place to go from so we had given up to stay there. However, due to our schedule change, we happened to pass nearby... more

A relaxing place, well worth the drive up there. Beautiful views, peaceful accommodation and the food was wonderful. Something a bit different, and a very refreshing change. more

Without doubt. Milia Mountain Retreat is a piece of heaven on earth. The rooms are simple yet homely with dry stone interior walls and huge fire place that give the feeling of stepping back in time. Well kept and very traditional. We also had our own sun deck which meant we could sit out in the evening with a drink... more

Milia is a traditional Cretan settlement. Masons were brought specifically from the Peloponnese region to build these authentic houses/rooms. The houses/rooms are clustered... more

I spent 12 days in Crete this summer and I must admit that Milia is the best experience I had on the island. Crete is very crowded in August: mass tourism colonizes the island and you may have trouble in finding an accomodation. When we arrived in Milia after the Chania madness we believed we found paradise! The traditional settlement... more

I am sorry to disappoint you but i had a tragic experience in Milia. We went there because we believed that we would see a beatiful little village into the woods.Eat great food and have short trips in beatiful beaches. 2km of awful road(don't try that by night/very dangerous)...to reach a place that has nothing to do with what the... more

If you are fortunate to stay here even for one night, you will never forget the experience! The drive to the settlement is like nothing else. more

Milia a beautiful place to stay with great fresh food and great scenery… if you can find it. The quaint stone houses are time machines back to long ago, where you step outside and you find yourself in the middle of flowering forests, thriving mountain life, and a quiet stillness you cannot find elsewhere. The accommodations are rustic, the solar... more
