Your guide to Malia, Crete

“Crete’s legendary party spot, buzzing Malia has everything you need for round-the-clock fun, including a knockout sandy beach.”

Malia has two faces to it. One is its original, old inland village awash with traditional Cretan serenity and charm. The other is big, brash, party-mad, non-stop Malia. And that’s the one that wins the day. Famous for its relentless energy, modern Malia doesn’t hold back when it comes to any of the holiday essentials. On Crete’s northern coast, it boasts a ravishing beach of satiny sands and vivid blue waters that’s quite literally, packed with action. A never-ending parade of watersports rentals offering pedaloes, ringos and jetskis run its length. Sun beds cover every patch of sand, backed by rows of cheerful beach bars and the occasional volleyball court. And the young crowds who come here in July and August to make Malia their own, lie immobile on their loungers, dozing off the night before. Away from the sands, the main ‘strip’ pulsates with bars, pubs and music spots with one mission in life – to supply full-on fun. In between, you’ll find a multitude of restaurants of every conceivable type and size, from Mexican, English, Chinese and Indian to even the occasional Greek taverna. When you fancy escaping, hop on a bus to quieter Stalia or Hersonissos with its picturesque harbour front. Or jump on board a boat and visit some of the beautiful beaches peppered along the coast. Make sure you’re back for Malia’s nightlife, though. From the moment the sun disappears here, its centre throbs with life. Head for a bar to start with, and then dive into the high-energy clubs and dance spots that take over when everything else closes. Be prepared to stay up late – the nightlife here ends at sunrise and not before.
