Malia - Booze Cruise

Malia is first mentioned in 1390. The very first hotel to be built here dates back to the early 1960s. Since then, tourism has boomed, with Malia attracting mainly young tourists, particularly British holidaymakers aged between 18 and 30 who are looking for a holiday combining partying and relaxation

What is now known as the "Malia Strip" therefore bears a strong resemblance to Agia Napa on Cyprus – and just like there, everything is in hibernation in January.
