About Malia

Malia is the place that has everything to suit all preferences.

The old town of Malia offers people picturesque alleyways and buildings, coupled with quaint shops and worthy restaurants and bars to visit. Get lost in the little streets and experience the more traditional aspect of life in Crete: food smells coming from homes, ladies in black sitting out in the evenings and putting the world to right and the local merchants selling their produce over the loud speaker as they drive by.

The old village of Malia also has many little churches with interesting historical backgrounds to be discovered. In addition, for those with an interest in history, Malia is also home to the  important Minoan Palace of Sarpidon – an archaeological site worth visiting. It is the 3rd largest on the island (after Knossos and Phaistos) and the location where the famous ‘gold bee’ was found, which has become a symbol for the area.

The lively part of the village for those interested in partying, has distinguished cocktail bars and clubs with the latest hits playing that will keep you on the dance floor al night. It is not by chance that this village was such a hot spot for the cubbing crowds in the past!
