Malia Beach

Malia is one of the most touristic resorts in Crete, located 35km east of Heraklion. It is famous for its wild nightlife and the third largest Minoan palacein Crete, Malia palace. Malia could not get developed in tourism without its sandy beaches. The beach of Malia is the eastern part of the 6km long bay starting from Stalis. It is a wide beach with fine sand and shallow water. It is usually very crowded, so that there is no space between the sunbeds to fit a pin! Here you can find whatever comfort you ask. Apart from the classic umbrellas and water sports, you will find some extreme services, like massage, gym on the beach, bars at the hotel pools, and many more.
