Heraklion Hotel Guide. Adventure Sport Hotels in Malia, Heraklion, Greece

The pictures thankfully lived up to expectations and more. Didn't feel the need to venture out of the hotel for food or entertainment as everything on hand. The food was good and a lot of variety. Staff were very friendly and everything well organised. Lovely gardens, lounging area and pools which were well maintained. Huge comfy beds and fluffy pillows. Lots of beach beds available around the pool areas and on the beach. Although sandy beaches, Hadn't realised there would be so many flat rocky patches entering the water - just need to walk along the beach a bit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Our group of 4 'middle aged' ladies enjoyed our short break of 5 nights at the Socrates in early September. Good location, 10 mins walk to beach and restaurants. Although easy walking distance to 'the strip' ( most places were open, but they were pretty empty), the location of Socrates was so quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff on reception and in the bar which also served a lovely buffet breakfast. Our accommodation was a two bed appt with a double and twin beds. It was quite dated and storage was limited but it was very clean and the air con was efficient. This was our 3rd visit to Malia and we were very happy with our stay here. Would recommend for couples, families or groups of friends looking for a happy, relaxing holiday in the sun.

This is a fab hotel in a perfect location - a few minutes walk to the beach and to shops and restaurants. The hotel is gorgeous. Huge and lovely rooms. It has a really nice pool area and bar. Highly recommended!

Stayed for a week early August, great hotel, food excellent everything you need, staff really friendly, pool areas spotless, private beach great, rooms very tasteful and comfortable, all round spotlessly clean.

Situated in a relatively quiet part of Malia, 5 mins from the beach, shops nearby. Beds a bit hard, hot water a bit unpredictable, but rooms regularly cleaned, food excellent and all set in wonderful lush greenery.would go back

Malia is a big party place, you can expect to hear quad bikes roar, as well as youths screaming and shouting all night there. The apartments are a little further away from the worst of it. The seaside is close and they have a deal with one of the hotels so that you can use the swimming pool and chairs right next to the beach. The staff is really friendly and helpfull weather it's just idle chatting, or if you need tips like for car rentals and places to eat.
