Manic Malia

Advantages: Hot, Great nightlife, Lots to do.
Disadvantages: Scary Greek men, quite expensive in some places.

. Malia has many things to do during the day and many more to do at night!! ~*~TRAVELLING~*~ We flew with Golden sun from Newcastle airport at 6:35pm, and we arrived at Heraklion airport at 12:30am their time. There is a two hour increase in time over in Greece than in the UK. Our flight was fine, no problems at all, there was no delays and everything ran smoothly. We collected our baggage at the other end, and boarded the coach which was going to drop us at our apartment. It was dark, as it was about 3am in the morning when we got there. Our apartment was down quite a dark quite road so we decided not to venture out until the following day, so we unpacked our cases and had an early night! ~*~ACCOMODATION~*~ The apartments we stayed in were called Michalis Apartments.

Review of Malia, Crete

Malia, Crete

Advantages: Lots of nightlife
Disadvantages: quite expensive

I'd never heard of Malia - but a friend persuaded me to go as it was 'This years Faliraki' - so instantly that should give you a taster for what the resorts about.

Advantages: Cheap drinks, good music, great fun
Disadvantages: None

Well I finally have enough time to write a review on Malia, a small island in Crete, Greece. I visited Malia this summer with my friends and found it to be one of the most exciting yet laid back cities in Europe. I hope to share my experiences of Malia to the Ciao community. Brief History: Malia is located on the Greek Island of Crete, 34km west of Heraklion, the largest city and capital of Crete. Most of the buildings and ruins found in Crete are from the Bronze Age, making Crete an ancient city with a huge historical background.
