Malia, Crete. Greece.
On the north east coast of Crete lies Malia, one of Greece’s biggest party destinations. An approximate 1 hour 30 minute drive from Heraklion Airport will take you there, where you can start your ‘fun-in-the-sun’ holiday.
If you’re searching for the ultimate party holiday, Malia is definitely the resort for you. With beach bars buzzing throughout the days and fantastic water sports taking over the sea, you’re bound to have both lively days and nights.
With the music hot-spots powering through the night until the early hours of the morning, most of the youngsters will be asleep in their hotel beds mid-mornings. This makes for a perfect opportunity to grab a couple of peaceful hours of tanning on the lusciously golden sandy beach before the crowds hit the sand in all their sun-worshipping glory.
Of course, the main attraction of Malia holidays is the wild nightlife. A huge amount of bars and clubs line the ‘Y’ shaped main street, and with everything from dance music, pop tunes and 80’s cheese, you’ll be partying well into the night, every night!
However while the ‘new town’ and Malia Beach road draws in the majority of the crowds, Malia’s old town isn’t to be overlooked. Set back from the beach up into the hills, the old town boasts cobbled streets, traditional Greek tavernas and more authentic accommodation. You’ll feel like you’re in a different world while you wander into a typically charming Cretan village.
Eateries in Malia are everywhere. From fast food joints and British style pubs to Mexican’s and family-run Greek restaurants, there’s something here for everyone. Unwind in a pretty restaurant on a cobbled street surrounded by orange trees or make a fun start to your night in a vibrant restaurant on the main street with a cocktail or two.
Accommodation varies as much as everything else here. Get a cheap offer in one of the self-catering Malia apartments directly on the main strip. Grab a late week in a 3 or 4 star Malia hotel just behind the beach. Or get yourself a holiday deal online in a Malia studio up on the hillside. Wherever you stay, you’ll be within easy reach of the town and beach, and just a bus ride away from such resorts as Hersonissos, Gouves and Elounda.
While on holiday in Malia you have to make a trip to the magnificent Palace of Malia. Built around 1900 BC, this impressive site is a breath-taking insight into the ancient Minoan Empire that spreads all across Crete.
