Malia was a lovely little resort and I wished I had picked a hotel in this resort and not way up in the hills with nothing to do and quite hard to get to

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The people are wonderful and the Old Town is beautiful. The beaches are clean and the water was clear and warm. The strip is what it is, but probably not what it used to be, and maybe that's no bad thing! We loved it and will look to visit again.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Loved Malia Old Town, obviously Malia New Town is a clubbing place but we were not disturbed by any noise or activities from it

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It was a great week in Malia, the main problem (not including our hotel) was the quality of food really.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Been visiting the area for many years now. Lots of places shut down in the past year alone. People still lovely but economy not so good.
