Not long been back from holiday and you know what..after going to malia ican say hands down i am bored with going out in england as it does not compare to the brilliance that is malia!

Obviously this type of holiday does kinda determine the type of person/age you are for example. If you enjoy getting extremely drunk, dancing all night, sleeping most the day, getting a great suntan, checking out lots of ladies then this is for you!
If your looking for a quiet, sightseeing holiday then dont go to malia. The rest of crete is fine for this just not malia.

I took £800 which was ab out 970 euros for 2 weeks and i took home 200 euros. You can quite easily do the holiday on £600 if you wanted but i decided to take more. Most breakfasts consist of the same, but price varies from 2.90 euroes to 9 euros depending on what you want. Loads of cheap deals on brekkie tho soo its awesome! Lunch is fine, most places you can pick up a cheap bite for around 5 euros. Drinks such as coke and fanta are 3 euros which i found to be most expensivr thing on holiday when you can get a beer for 2.50 euros if not lower! Dinner time there are so many special offers drown the strip you'll be spoilt for choice ranging from italian, chinese, indian, greek, english, KFC, american whatever you want! There is a place called china house where you can pay 21 euros for all you can eat, all you can drink all night which is brilliant..but i advise you to just get half vodka and then lemonade because they have some weird flavourings.

At night you will get attacked and mauled by various men and women wanting you to go into their bar...but dont be too annoyed, they're working after all! You can make it into a game and run past them, or just annoy them its all good fun! Most deals consist of 3 for 1 and a free shot, for a small group but with 8 you get 3 for 1, 2 shots and a fish bowl for just 5 euros! Best places for drinks are the street bar, wkd bar, yaisou, bar one and chasers...they have best alcohol content haha!

Other things to do are go karting, waterparks, booze cruises, various beaches, bowling, 5 side footy and even iceskating lol...i didnt do it but hey check it out :) Oh there are some minoan ruins but you can see them free on the booze cruise pretty much so why bother!

All in all, its an awesome holiday for the right people which you will love!...One final thought, DONT buy a ped/quad, they are dodgey things as i saw 5 crashes out there which isnt good. Complete waste of money, spend it onmore drink instead believe me its way better!
