Nearby Villages

Krassi
A traditional small village with an altitude of about 600 meters, only 6 km south of Malia.

Mochos
Mochos is a mountain village 12 km from Malia with an authentic Cretan lifestyle. You will not have to deal with masses of tourists or wait in long lines, rather you will be greeted by the locals and feel the Cretan hospitality. You can take a walk on the alleys of Mochos and see traditional houses and churches. Plenty of Tavernas are ready to serve you a delicious lunch.

Hersonissos
Hersonissos is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Crete only 12.5 km from Malia. It comprises everything from diving centers and golfing to full-on nightclubs.

In the site of Knossos, tourists can visit the Great Palace, the Little Palace, the Royal Villa, the House of the High Priest, the Caravan Serai and the Royal Temple Tomb-Sanctuary.

Elafonisi Beach

Elafonissi Beach is located 75 km from the city of Chania and its exceptional beauty is the reason why so many tourists visit it all summer long.
