Blending traditional Cretan charm and modern luxury, every space at the Socrates, from cosy studios to expansive family apartments, is thoughtfully designed with a mix of classic and contemporary elements.

To get your holiday in full swing, there’s a supersized pool surrounded by lush gardens, the perfect spot for cooling off or basking in the sun on one of the many comfy loungers.
