Holidays to Malia

If Spain has Ibiza, Greece has Malia to rival it. Holidays to Malia, in Crete, offer world-class nightlife and bustling beaches to match. Summers are perfect for a swim in the warm azure waters; Potomas beach is popular with laid-back sunbathers while Glozaine beach is great for watersports lovers.

The lively resort, 12km away from nearest resort Hersonissos, is popular with the 18-30s crowd so if bars and beaches are your bag, Malia holidays are unbeatable. The young crowd finds it a nice, safe and affordable beach destination that's close to home, with an abundance of activities and entertainment on offer. Big nights out are often followed by long lazy days by the pool or beach - for the full Malia experience visit from April and October (average 20°C) when Malia is hot and happening with busy beaches and full of verve!

It's not all about partying from sunset until sunrise, though. Malia holidays are great for families too, with historic highlights including a visit to the ancient Minoan Palace, plus a day trip to the Heraklion region, boasting Venetian Fortresses and 19th Century Mosques. Equally, explore the traditional towns, laze on the beaches, pick up souvenirs on Beach Road, or go on a Land Rover Safari.

Sample the fresh earthy flavours of Greek food during Malia holidays —fresh, light and absolutely delicious. Try mayirefta or the fresh catch of seafood from popular places like Taverna Kalyva to Stablos and Elisabeth. In the evenings carry cotton or linen garments and a light jacket if there is a slight chill.

Malia boasts a great choice of sandy beaches lined with shops and bars. The main attraction is the central beach, which is where Malia’s tourists go to sunbathe and snooze off the excesses of the night before. If you can manage to get up early the beaches can be surprisingly quiet before the party people surface!

Outdoor Activities

 

Malia is full of natural and historical sites that cry out to be explored. What better way to tour the island than on a quad-bike or a jeep? Zoom through little known villages and lush landscapes via rough and ready dirt tracks where you can catch a glimpse of local Cretan life and view its natural beauty's up-close.

Splash in Watercity

On the main beach, Dolphin Watersports is the place to head for all your jet skiing, water skiing, banana boat, parasailing and pedalo needs. Malia Booze Cruise is the way to go when you want to party on the high seas - their slogan is ‘what happens in Malia stays in Malia.’ Waterparks like Watercity are within easy reach too.

Malia Nightlife


The music’s pounding and the drinks are cheap along Malia’s Strip. Reflex Bar is a great choice for 80s nostalgia but if you fancy something a bit more sophisticated, Drossia Cocktail Bar is a good choice. Clubs are ten a penny but Apollo and Candy Club are a good way to discover the delights of Malia’s nightlife.
