Maleme Holidays

Forget The Crowds...

Maleme is a small and quiet resort on the west side of Crete. The beach is huge, filled deep with fine sun-kissed pebbles perfect for sunbathing. There are a few watersports available on the beach to enjoy but this resort focuses its attention on total relaxation and the beach is no exception. Forget the crowds, lay back and soak in Greeks hot sunshine.

Unwind And Relax...

It is mainly hotel based but there are a few Tavernas serving up popular Greek dishes and a few music bars. The hotels and apartments are of a high standard and many offer their own entertainment programmes. If you prefer your evenings to pack a little more punch then a cheap and short taxi ride to Platanias should do the trick. There are more bars and restaurants here with a scattering of clubs. As one of the busiest resorts in western Crete you are sure to find something to your fancy here.

A regular bus service will take you into the heart of Chania, Crete’s second city. There is a cultural element to the city that stands alongside fabulous shopping and a lot more restaurants and eateries. Maleme has the beach that everyone wants to unwind on, the hotels everyone wants to stay in and the peace that everyone wants on holiday.
