Malia
Younger travellers and friends seeking beaches, restaurants and active summer nightlife.
Malia combines sandy coastal areas and active summer nightlife east of Hersonissos. It attracts travellers who want entertainment to play a central role in the holiday.
Its older quarter offers narrower streets, traditional houses and tavernas, while the Minoan palace site is a separate nearby visit. These settings differ from the main entertainment strips. Choose the address carefully if a quieter evening matters to your group.
Our tip
Check the property’s distance from entertainment streets. Families seeking quiet should also compare neighbouring towns.
