Milia is a unique holiday experience.An old cretan village in ruins, renovated, preserving the traditional character of the old stone houses.At the same time staying in Milia, is a back to nature experience,without electricity and modern amenities you live in nature and become part of it.The restaurant serves delicious cretan food,with ingredients from their organic garden.The only disadvantage is that...

It is rare to encounter a guest house with such an ambiance combined with genuine hospitality. Obviously the restoration work of this old settlement is superb but it is the heart of the people running the business what makes so unique. If you are looking for a place to relax and find the true you, look no further ... Try... More

We wanted to spend one night here, just because we have heard about it. We spent 3 nights because we have been dissappointed by Chania and we wanted to bein tha nature. The internet site makes a good description. It's true, 2,5km of dusty road, but no surprise, we have been told about. There is no much light in the... More

After tanning for days on the Cretan beaches, my husband and I went up to Milia for an organic, delicious bite to eat (I still dream of the chicken and baked apricot dessert with raki!!). We loved it so much we decided to stay for the night, it was such a treat and a cool breeze came through the mountains... More

We had such a wonderful time during our first stay in May 2012 that and we are going back this year at same period. For those who love nature, wild flowers such as orchids, this is the right time to go there. It is not too hot to walk arround Milia. There are plenty of walking trails. Tassos, the managing... More

Good things: - Setting: beautiful scenery. Views from our cabin looking out of the mountain on the other side of the valley. The balcony of the restaurant is also a superb place to while away the day enjoying the sun, views & the food - Food: Definitely not high-end cooking, but very tasty. The vegetarian dishes were probably more consistent... More

Our very unique day on Crete ended in Milia. As suggested by a polite hotel owner at Chania Milia was on our way.. We'd never ever find this place ourselves at this totally remote spot. Road is a bit scarry especially when going into whole thing as you already think about how to leave afterwards. This however ended in complete... More

Milia Have been coming to Crete for 10 years and have heard about this place since our first visit but somehow never quite got around to getting there, a recommendation to visit nearby Elefonisi from a resident friend provided the impetus to finally book a night in this Eco village. First off the good stuff: It's really easy to find,... More
