The ideal place to visit if you’re after wild nights
If you love to party then Malia has everything you need. The main strip, which is also called Beach Road, is packed with a seemingly endless row of bars and nightclubs, all beckoning you to come inside, with their tasty drinks and banging tunes. The atmosphere around there is buzzing for most of the day, but especially at night.
There are all sorts of craziness to enjoy, on top of the wide range of boozers for you to pick from. From classic nightclubs like Mode or The Candy Club, everything is on your doorstep – from house and EDM to big and cheesy – there’s music all around to suit your mood. Every night throughout summer there’s a whole host of events to get stuck into, whether its foam parties or guest DJ sets, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable night and as a worker, you can make sure everyone else has one too.
There’s more to Malia than meets the eye
Let’s not kid around here, Malia is mainly known for its incredible nightlife – most people who visit the area are looking for a good time. But it’s also part of the beautiful island of Crete which has so much to offer. It is quite literally steeped in history and culture – which you should definitely take the time to soak in while you’re over there.
There are loads of day trips you can jump on around the island, including tours to visit the birthplace of Zeus or the ancient Minoan palace ruins. We recommend hiring a quad bike and going on a bit of adventure to see more of the island. There are also tonnes of events scheduled throughout summer, including boat parties, festivals and a jam-packed clubbing calendar.
