Malia – Famous party resort on the north coast of Crete
Malia is a famous full-on party resort for the young. Malia is on the north coast of Crete, 4 miles east of Hersonissos, 5 miles west of Sissi and 20 miles east of Heraklion airport. Holidays in Malia appeal to young people and groups looking for a good action-packed beach, unlimited nightlife and inexpensive eating. Malia holidays are centred on nightlife, music bars, dancing and late nights. It also has a great beach for lazy afternoons or sporting activities.
Malia holidays – Beach, sun, sports, bars and clubs.
Malia beach is a couple of miles long, an impressive golden sandy stretch busy with life and bars even during the day. There are plenty of organised sports including football and volleyball tournaments. Holidays in Malia can also take advantage of good watersports. Waterskiing, parascending, jet skis, ringos and paragliding are all popular. The main Malia beach areas are busy with people and there are plenty of beachside bars with music.
Holidays in Malia - Shopping, eating, bars and dancing…
There are a huge amount of restaurants ranging from snack bars and fast food to curries and even Greek food! And even more places to drink. The party goes on all night in dozens of music bars, cocktail bars and pubs, and later at discos which stay open until very late. Malia holiday nightlife is largely aimed at the very young. It is particularly lively and with young British visitors in the main summer season. Shopping is another favourite Malia holiday activity with all kinds of shops, also open until late. If you can escape from the fun and the beach there are other popular resorts close by like Stalis and Hersonissos and lots of organised excursions. Frequent buses run along the coast and there are plenty of taxis to get you home. Clearly Malia is not the place to find traditional Crete life or peace and quiet, though there is the original village of Malia just inland to the south where you can find a different atmosphere and some appealing tavernas with Greek food.
