We had a wonderful time at the house upon the beach in malia. The house is located right near wonderful restaurants (like the blue sea tavern) and night life. Wonderful Cretan cities are just a Vespa ride away. Would highly recommend for groups of younger people who want a great night life and beautiful beaches. The town is not exactly family friendly. Michalis was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, helping us to find Vespas and taxis. We hope to come back one day!
