Simple and practical, this studio is a convenient spot to explore the East of the island. It is located in the old part of Malia where nice restaurants await. From there, you can also go to the new (read: busy) Malia with its loads of bars/clubs for tourists. I'd recommend having a car/bike to go places. Potamos beach is then very close and Agios Nikolaos a 30-min drive away. Do take time to visit Mochos too, a tiny village high up in the mountains where traditional Cretan nights are held every Wednesdays.
