There’s also a Go-Kart track in the town, 18 hole golf course and a crazy golf course. (All these facilities are independent of the hotel and will incur charges)

Dining & Night-life:
The complex has a waiter service restaurant serving simple but delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. There’s also a snack bar and a lounge bar and terrace.

The town has two distinct feels to it. There’s the lively New Malia on one side of the road and the sleepier Old Malia on the other! New Malia has bars, clubs and nightlife and you’ll find plenty of choice for dining from International to traditional English. And, then there’s Old Malia with its picturesque narrow, winding streets, traditional coffee shops and Greek tavernas which sell traditional Cretan and Greek dishes. You choose your own Malia!

Malia is a lively, atmospheric resort especially at night when the town comes to life; the bars open at 8pm and continue right through until the early hours of the morning.

Malia Local Area: Malia is situated along the northern coast of Crete, just 25 minutes east of the airport and in an area of great natural beauty where the slopes of Mount Selena, set amidst olive groves, sweep down to the shores of the blue sea.
