The town of Malia is located east of Heraklion Town, an area famous for its windmills and market produce. The region of Malia is very rich due to its fertile land, its springs of water of excellent quality, both gifts of the mount "SELENA" located south of Malia, its archaeological site, and of course its gorgeous sandy beach, which attracts thousands of visitors every year.
Nearby at Malia there is the Malia palace beach which is very long and sandy and it is a famous beach. The beach of Malia is beautiful with fine white sand and crystal-clear waters and is considered as one of Crete 's finest beaches. This beach is fairly organized and provides all the amenities that a tourist might want. During the high season (July-September) the beach can get fairly crowded. However there are many smaller beaches in coves around Malia, for those who prefer a more secluded place.
Malia is also famous for its archaeological sites. Just off 3 kms from the village, you'll find Minoan town, which is a testimony of Minoan civilization.
