Malia Marina

4.2(382 reviews)

About

Malia Marina, on Crete, sits at Hersonissos 700 07, Greece, on the north coast where the island's busiest resort strip meets the water.

First-time visitors will find a working marina, and its popularity is clear from 382 reviews and a rating of 4.2 out of 5. Heraklion lies to the west and Agios Nikolaos to the east, so the marina is easy to reach from the main towns and resorts along this stretch of coast. Chania, Rethymno, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi are further afield but all on the same island.

Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.

The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, which is worth knowing when planning a crossing. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live in these waters, and many islands have protected nesting beaches. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes.
