Milia is located in a mountainous and environmentally sensitive area of Western Crete, in the prefecture of Chania and in the center of the province of Kissamos. Our area belongs to the network of Natura protected areas.
The settlement is surrounded by a green valley formed by the mountains Kefali (Kefali) and Psilo (High), 550m. The mountain landscape offers its discretion to people and their creations. This landscape defines and shapes our identity.
From the first day, when we found the idea of restoring the settlement, our philosophy was clear.
The hostels in Milia are rooms-houses that pre-existed in the 15th century, carefully renovated in detail, recording some of the essence of this era. We call them room-houses because in the past they served the basic needs of the families they hosted, despite their small size, especially during the summer. People's needs were just less then.
Milia provided them with two basic things. Water and chestnuts, which were a source of food and a small income for the family.
Today, every house has its own unique charm and decoration. The basic need for water is covered by springs and electricity is generated by solar panels. All houses have central heating, as well as a fireplace or wood stove for the winter, a private bathroom, a balcony, a patio or terraces for relaxation.
The rooms are surrounded by chestnuts, strawberries and a huge variety of flora.
There are four types of rooms. The standard double rooms, large double rooms, suites and family apartments.
"Our priority is to save and preserve the traditional life cycle, serving both man and the environment, with the aim of Cretan tradition and respect for the history of the earth. It is our duty to promote the culture and the true identity of the region and its inhabitants, keeping our eyes open to the present and the future. "
Above all, the visit to Milia is a worthwhile experience…
Milia means "back to basics", a shelter you visit when you need rest and time for yourself and your loved ones.
The Apple fulfills our inner need to "escape", even for a while, from all the burdens. It offers a simple and human living "curriculum". It is an escape that will redefine ourselves in a recreation area away from the crowds.
The spring water, the fresh air, the silence of the mountain, the summer breeze, the glittering night sky, the wonderful food and wine, even the built approach of Milia, will provide the necessary calm and will help you recharge. your biological batteries.
Milia is deeply engraved in the memory of our visitors due to the abundance and variety of features. Many described their stay as a journey into the past.
Time flows slowly here…
