High Beach Resort

Dear Guests, Thank you very much for choosing our hotel to spent your holidays at. We are really delighted to know that you enjoyed your stay among us and we also greatly appreciate your flattering comments about our staff who make a lot of efforts to essure you the greatest atmosphere. Regarding your comments about Malia we would like to mention that it is an unusual small town, unlike any other in Crete. It used to be known for its delicious potatoes. But times changed, the tourists started coming to Crete and the potato fields of Malia were replaced by hotels large and small, tavernas and bars. On the one hand is Dr Jekyll, the old Malia with its narrow streets, houses with bougainvilleas and little tavernas with live Greek music. On the other is Mr Hyde, the coastal resort with its bars and nightclubs . To visit the Malia archaeological site, leave the town heading towards Agios Nikolaos. About 2-3 kilometres from Malia, turn left. The road leading to the Palace of Malia continues down to the sea and the beach. The old part of the town starts behind the church Agios Nektarios and the old town behind the church. In the late afternoon you can stroll through the narrow streets, admire the old houses that remain. Some of people also play live greek music. About halfway along is a sign to Malia Harbour, a tiny harbour with a half-built marina. The only thing worth seeing here is a little church among the pine trees with a view of the sea. From Malia there is a road up to the picturesque village of Krassi with its stream and fountain with huge plane trees. The road continues past Krassi to the Monastery of Panagia Kera and the Lassithi Plateau with the Dikteon Cave, one of the two caves on Crete vying for the title of the birthplace of Zeus. Once again thank you for your kind review about our hotel and we are looking forward to meet you soon. Kind regards Haris Prinari Public relation manager
