The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the centre of Malia, the public beach and other main attractions. It is close enough to enjoy a stroll and also far enough away that noise from night time entertainment establishments is not an issue. The host responded to any requests or questions that I had in quick time and efficiently. If you are a single occupier I would advise returning to the apartment after dark in a taxi as the walk to and from the apartment is quite isolated in parts and it is cheap enough not to be an issue. There is plenty to do locally, whatever your age or circumstance. I can personally recommend the following: The Dolphin Beach Bar and public beach, the Red Lion, the Drossier Bar, the Avli (situated in the old town). The pharmacy just down from the Drossier Bar offers a friendly and helpful service. The Zoo Bar is ideal if you are looking for sophistication, cocktails, and company above the age of 19. In all these places I found the staff to be polite, helpful and welcoming without undue pressure being applied. I can also recommend The Happy Train to give you insight into what is available in and around the surrounding areas of Malia. xx
