Hotel Malia Mare (Malia, Greece)

You won’t get any closer to it all than this hotel. A two-minute walk will have you right at the main strip, which is full of bars, shops and restaurants for you to pick from.

No need to travel far for a cocktail by the pool. The swimming pool has a swim-up bar for your convenience, so you can grab a drink and get back to relaxing.

Directly across from the hotel is a liquor store with great prices, so you can grab a few bottles before heading out for the night.

Even though the Greek heat can linger well into the night, you will have to pay to use the air conditioning at this hotel. It’s a charge for every day you want to use it, and this might add up over time.

If you wish to take advantage of the hotel’s Wi-Fi signal, you are able to do so at an additional charge. This, on top of paying for air conditioning, can get pretty expensive during your stay.

Because the rooms in the front of the hotel get the most sun, you will find they are warmer in comparison to the other rooms. These rooms are more likely to need air conditioning.
