Advantages: Hot, Great nightlife, Lots to do. Disadvantages: Scary Greek men, quite expensive in some places.
special offers on, so if you pay for 2 you can get a 3rd free. We only went on one excursion, and that was to the water park. To be honest I didn’t think it was worth the money. You can also hire scooters, quads and cars out for the day, the week, or the fortnight. The more days you hire them for, the cheaper it is. We hired two quads out for 4 days and it cost us 100euros each. The petrol is quite cheap and you don’t really use that much. Be warned though! BE CAREFUL! It’s pretty dangerous driving in Malia, everyone drives quite erratically. We didn’t have to show any driving licences or passports when we hired out our scooters. One piece of advice I will give you, is make sure you get fully comprehensive insurance when you hire anything, there is often quite a difference in the prices, but if you don’t the Greeks ...

Malia
I just came back from my weeks holiday in Malia last night so I thought I’d do an opinion before I jet off to Berlin tomorrow afternoon. :0P
Malia is an all round party resort that has been compared to Ibiza and Ayia Napa. Not having been to either of these places, I can’t comment on this save for to say that the nightlife certainly was manic. I went for a ‘girly’ holiday with 3 of my best mates to treat ourselves after we finished out A-levels. This opinion is really based on a lads/girls holiday as we didn’t do much apart from sun bathe, eat, party and last (an possible least) sleep.
***Getting there***
We flew with Airtours from Manchester to Heraklion, the main airport in Crete. Our flight from Manchester was delayed by an hour, our headset things didn’t work and when we got to ...

I?ve been a bit quite on my reviews lately, a mixture of being busy at work, and having taken a week?s holiday in the sun!
I usually like to holiday at a different destination every year as I find it just too exciting packing my bags and imaging what it might actually be like at my chosen destination, rather than the glossy pictures displayed in the brochure. But this year I backed down and agreed to go to the same place as last year, out of season, to help my friend find a job and a place to live so she could work out there for 4 months. The lucky so and so.
The destination was Malia on the Greek Island of Crete. This year I went at the beginning of May when the season was just starting to get into swing, and last year I went in mid August when the party had well and truly started.
The resort of Malia
Before last year ...
