Malia would be heaven for visitors wanting lots of bars and nightlife and cheap shops selling tourist junk. The beach is quite good, but is just one long strip and even late in the season was overcrowded. There were row upon row of sunbeds for hire. Between the beach and the main road shpping there were masses of hotels. This made the whole place seem just a resort with no genuine local attractions. I am sure there are some somewhere but as we visited for just one day we did not find them.

The countryside around Malia is hilly and fairly pretty and perhaps Malia would be a good place to stay as a base. There is an old town but we were not greatly impressed. I imagine at night, when Malia is lit up, it will be very much like Blackpool but with good weather.

The bus from Ag Nik reached Malia in quite a short time and Elounda is nerarer to Ag Nik on the same journey. Bus fares are relatively cheap and you can travel around Crete quite easily. Malia has many English food outlets and sells plenty of quick snacks. I know it is a popular resort and so obviously many holidaymakers love it. Hubby and I however hated the place. It was over commercialised, very Touristy and had no local Greek appeal.]]>
