We stayed at Socrates Hotel as a group of 14 lads and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating – they really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and even got to know us all by name, which was a nice touch. The hotel itself was clean and inviting, with a great atmosphere throughout. Rooms were spotless and cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided – including ones for the sunbeds, which was a bonus. The pool area was perfect for relaxing during the day, and the on-site food and drinks were great quality and fairly priced. Location-wise, it was ideal – just a short walk to the *****, but far enough away that you could still get a decent night’s sleep when you needed it. Big thanks to the whole team at Socrates Hotel for looking after us – would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and wanted to especially highlight the exceptional service provided by Despina. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail truly made a difference in our experience.

Hotel was really nice, people cleaned it every day for us and the bar by the pool was brilliant! Despina was caring and a hard worker and always made our day brighter!

Just returned from 10 nights at this hotel and loved it, myself and husband and 18 and 13 year olds. The hotel itself is slightly dated but rooms were adequate and beds very comfy (just missing a bit more space to put our clothes - 2 bed apartment on 2nd floor and bathrooms need updating). Views from balconies were amazing and it's in a quiet area. The 2nd best thing about this hotel were the grounds, pool and bar/restaurant area. Very spacious and beautiful and with a very recently renovated bar and restaurant. We ate here a couple of times and the food was amazing! We would have eaten more but we like to have a wander and try little tavernas (old town is lovely) The very best though was the amazing staff especially Despina and Eleni, waitresses around the pool and for breakfast. They are such lovely ladies and so friendly and helpful and we miss them already :( Anna is also very helpful and friendly on reception too. I would thoroughly recommend and great value for money. Thank you Socrates!

Myself and my sister just spent the most wonderful 5 nights at this gorgeous hotel in Crete 🌞✨ Everything was spotless… from the poolside to the restaurant to reception. What really made our stay special, though, was the incredible staff. Everyone made such a genuine effort to get to know us, always greeting us warmly at breakfast and going out of their way to ensure we had a perfect stay. We didn’t have dinner at the hotel, but the poolside lunch was fantastic, and the rooms had everything we needed, hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, mirrors, and a spacious wardrobe. Huge shoutout to Debbie, she was an absolute delight. Already dreaming of coming back… Highly recommend this hotel. Thank you all!

We loved our stay at Socrates. We visited as part of a group of 8 and from moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Every member of staff was very friendly but special mention must go to Debbie and Helen who work at bar . They absolutely made our holiday ! What a fantastic pair. We felt like family by end of week. Rooms are a bit dated but spotlessly clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast had a good selection ( our friend missed her baked beans though 😋) We d have no hesitation in recommending Socrates to our friends and look forward to returning again.

Stayed at The Socrates end of July into August 2024 as a family of 4. From start to finish this hotel was amazing. Relaxed atmosphere, made special by ALL the wonderful staff. Was Met by George, night staff and security. Dumped our bags in the room and went straight to the pool. Met Maria at reception in the morning. Maria helped us book taxis and negotiate prices into the capital. Breakfast is relaxed. Eating outside by the pool. There is enough food for a hearty breakfast, which we liked. Our first time in ages not going all inclusive and this was far better. And we were not rushed. The ladies in the kitchen are wonderful, so friendly and helpful, always. Despina, it was a pleasure to meet you for hugs every morning. You work hard, are caring, kind and the guests love you. Love your vanilla milkshakes :-) We had a 2 bedroom apartment. Bright, clean, spacious, and cleaned every day by the hard working cleaning crew ladies. The pool area is clean, great sun beds, never had trouble finding a bed, The deep end of the pool is VERY deep. Supermarket with bakery less that a 5 minute walk, with the beach and beach bars another 2 minutes away. Loads of Tavernas left and right of the supermarket and bakery. Its a straight road either way. Just watch out for passing cars, coaches, trucks, quadbikes, mopeds etc on this road. First time ever in Greece - we shall be returning Thank you Socrates, great work by all. You have a team to be very proud of.

We had a TERRIBLE start to our holiday at a resort in Analipsi and when we arrived at Socrates we wanted to go home but the staff here were amazing. Maria was so nice and she gave us tips on where to go, our room wasn’t ready yet so we went out to the bar/ restaurant by the pool and DESPINA was great. She served us and made it a point to learn our names. It was a personalised experience and she makes the best cocktails. Everyday at this place was magical. We had a slight issue with the room and the hotel dealt with it ASAP and always had a smile on their face. It felt like being at home with them. We were chewed by mosquitoes literally eaten alive during the day walking around and Despina came running over with a bite gel, gave us some and like a mother would, told us not to scratch haha but honestly best place to stay, we will definitely be back. Housekeeping kept the rooms clean everyday and were super helpful. Efkaristo Socrates we love you ❤️ And thank you George

Beautiful, clean hotel with a very relaxing atmosphere and great location. All of the staff were very nice, but it is the lovely woman Despina who works by the pool who made the holiday special. Her hospitality was so warm and genuine - she took the time to learn our names and she always had a smile on her face. She is a gem of a human and the hotel is very lucky to have this angel!

The air conditioning didn’t work- was as effective as someone blowing air through it manually 😭 plus the electricity (including the air con) would shut off if the balcony door would open, meaning you couldn’t have someone sit on the balcony and someone else in the room at the same time, unless you locked them out. There were ants ALL over the bathroom, my friend had them crawling all over her toothbrush🤢 dirty underwear found in the room on the first day that DID NOT belong to us. Security would come storming into your room if you were loud too late- we asked what time ‘quiet hours’ were so we could avoid being shouted at, and were told ‘all the time’- great… however, the young girl at the front desk was lovely and Despina was amazing, so kind and the highlight of the whole hotel.
