Malia, Crete

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.

Malia Baby

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

...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 ...
...ask anyone who's been to Malia, have a reputation for being a bunch of no braining, arrogant idiots. They love preying on tourists, especially the one's who are drunk, so again be careful and just don't get into trouble.

Money Exchange: It's a best bet that you should generally get your money exchanged at home before you go on holiday as it saves you the hassle to doing it when on holiday. In the event that you forget to change your ... more

Malia, Crete

Advantages: Lots of nightlife
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...go to the resort of Malia, you fly into Heraklion Airport, and although I've been to a lot smaller airports with a lot less facilities, I have never been to an airport that takes as little consideration to the amount of people the building will actually hold as this one. The seating area itself is large with a separate smoking section, but there simply are not enough seats to go around and there is very little standing room. There is no air conditioning ...
...and irritable. May 2004 This year things were better. We flew from Gatwick North Terminal into Heraklion, and the only complaint I really had was that we arrived about 5 minutes after a flight from Manchester, and although they have 2 baggage carousels they unloaded both sets of luggage onto the same one. It was bedlam. Other than that, and a slow check in process on my flight home, I can’t really complain! The hotels August 2003 - Aeolas Beach ...

Manic Malia

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

...for 2 weeks holiday in Malia, which wasn’t particularly cheap, as we met people who were staying right in the centre, and they had only paid £250 and they had their own pool. ~*~DURING THE DAY~*~ Whilst we were there, we didn’t do a huge amount during the day. We slept in quite late, believe me you will need it, if you roll in at 7am like we did! After a nice lie in, the best thing to do is sunbathe, have a wander to find where you ...
...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 have been known to follow you back to your apartments and damage your scooters, ...

Malia

Advantages: hot, party atmosphere, something for everyone,
Disadvantages: its too hot, most places are not air conditioned, all the clubs are meat markets

...every other drinking establishment in Malia, the main foci (?) were getting hammered and pulling. The phrase ‘meat market’ does not do justice to the Beach Road! So, Malia is a definite recommendation as a groups holiday. Less expensive and clichéd than Ayia Napa/Ibiza yet seemingly just as much fun if dancing till dawn/sleeping past mid day floats your boat. There is plenty to do during the day both independently and through the package ...

Is Malia really the in place

Advantages: Great weather and soon got fit
Disadvantages: No working safe deposit boxes, poor hygiene in the apartments and the area is quite expensive for food, drink and activities

Malia, stated as being the in place for 2001 is situated on the North East side of the island of Crete. I only choose Greece again due to the great time I had in Kos last year, but as I was going with a group of people, I let them deal with the booking this time round. They went down to the Traveltext place in Nottingham and booked through Summer Sun and were flying with Carrier Air 2000 (non of wich I have ever heard of). Summer Sun were not the ...
...accomodation is very basic in Malia, and I mean basic. All you have is a bathroom with the usual amenities. The toilet however is very basic. It is the usual basin but no toilet paper can be deposited down them. All used toilet paper must be placed into the bin provided next to the toilet, which got cleaned / emptied every 3 or more days. The kitchen is basically two rings (one big, one small), and a fridge which just worked, then your sleeping area. ...

If Carlsberg made holidays....

Advantages: Drinking from 10pm til 7am :p
Disadvantages: Not much to do during the day

Malia! WOW! Just came back from a holiday in Malia Crete, 8 of us guys went for 2 weeks (which is to long btw) and had an awesome time :D If your after ANYTHING from a holiday other than sun, sex and nightlife then simply dont go to Malia lol... thats ALL there is to do there- but like us 8 lads that was all we wanted! The place itself is unusual the town only lives for the night and that doesnt start out there til 12 midnight- during the day ...
...pool and there is simply nothing else to do- we were there for 2weeks and we went water park twice and a Cruise other than that ever day was the same! Food is great out there, hotel food is horrible but if you eat out a meal and a drink is only about 10euros, and at brekie you can get a 2.90euros from almost everywhere! During the day finding things to fill your time with is difficult- theres a few shops out there that sell day trips to water parks, ...

Aeolos Beach is the place to be

Advantages: Location and the friendly staff
Disadvantages: Not but going on the complex at the day and night

Me and my girlfriend went in august 2006 and luved it. The Hotel is in a top location. Its is a 5 min walk to the main strip where all the night clubs are (which we were there every night out till 7 in the morning) The hotel is very clean and the owners and staff r really nice. It has its own private beach and the staff will stay up as long as u r buying drinks and food. Me and my girlfriend luv going on holidays where all the clubs are open all night and morning and Malia is the place for this. If u want a quiet holiday go to Stalis (Its just down the road from Malia). We went to Lagana in Crete this year and it was nothing compared to Malia. I would defo recommend to go to Aeolos Beach in Malia if u want to chill out through the day and party hard at the night. We luv it that much we r booking to go next year. ...

Review of Hotel Aeolos Beach, Malia

Crete - something for everyone

Advantages: Plenty to see and do
Disadvantages: Club 18-30 crowd could be a bit loud

Just returned from a weeks holiday in Malia in Crete. When I heard Malia was a resort with a lot of clubs I didn't really fancy it, but once I arrived all that changed. There is quite a lot of the Club 18-30 crowd there, but there are so many bars and resteraunts, that you don't have to be surrounded by clubbers at all. Among the best of the resteraunts is the only Mexican one in Malia, which gives excellent portions at reasonable prices, and teh food is great. If you go, take a trip to Spinalonga. This is an island off the coast of Crete which started out as a Venetian fortress, and became a leper colony, which was in use until as recently as the 1950's. The guides on the island give a really good tour of the island, and the colony which is being restored. There is also some really good scuba diving in Crete. We traveled ...

Review of Crete (Greece)

A perfect holiday in Crete

Advantages: Good fun, the people are friendly
Disadvantages: none

A few months ago I went on holiday to Crete, and stayed in a town called Malia. We were lucky to be staying in an apartment which was very close to the town and beach. Malia attracts lots of youngsters with plenty of nightclubs and taverna's to choose from. Although the nightlife in Malia is excellent, Malia is also suitable for families with small children. There's plenty of architecture and sites to visit during your stay. And the beach is so beautiful, you could quite easily loose track of time here. There's plenty of water sports available from the banana ride, paragliding and the big rubber rings what you sit in that the boats pull. For the less adventerous, you can just lay on a sunbed reading or sleeping. I went in October, and found this the perfect time of year to go. It wasn't so busy, and not so hot either ...
