Why Go

Summer holidays in Malia are legendary. Mainly for the young and young at heart – the resort is dominated by the party-loving crowd. But there is much, more more to discover both in, and around, this welcoming, high spirited resort, and its quieter, prettier back streets leading to the old town.

Malia, on the north coast of Crete is a resort of two sides. Its nightlife consists of dozens of bars, clubs, pubs and cocktail bars, most of which are situated along the main stretch. Holidays in Malia are perfect for sports-mad holiday makers too. Volleyball and football tournaments are regularly organised. Watersports include jet skiing, waterskiing, paragliding and parascending all provided at the beach front. The beach is also a great place to relax and unwind before another lively night unfolds.

There's a wide selection of restaurants in Malia, catering to all tastes, and all budgets - from snack bars and fast food outlets, to curry houses and Greek restaurants. The choice of shops is also vast with activity shops, souvenir shops, supermarkets and traditional Greek shops - a great place for souvenir hunters.

Holidays to Malia can also reveal some of the ancient history of Crete. For example, visitors could take a trip to the Palace of Malia, situated just east of Heraklion. The remains of the palace, believed to have been built in 1650 BC are visible - including the courts, main staircases and crypts. A very interesting site for those who like to explore times gone by.

Malia's authentic Greek tavernas and excellent facilities, plus its easy access to the best of the island's historic and beautiful landscapes, result in a resort that really has far more going for it than perhaps you first thought. If you're in need of an instant hit of sun, fun and good value - last minute holidays to Malia hit the spot every time.
