Explore Malia

Beautiful beaches & relaxation

GREAT LOCATION

Sunshine Hotel is located in Malia, which is exactly at the centre of Crete. That makes the island exploration easy! Due to the location and the wonderful climate, Malia represents a touristic place with well organised companies from all the categories. The road seems to split the village in two, the old town of Malia from one side, and the newest part of the town on the other side, that is near the coastline.

Beside the archaeological palace you can visit the historical temples of the old village and the bioplace of the river.

Also very close to Malia is Stalis from one side and Sissi from the other (Famous fish village). Other points of interest nearby to us is the Creta Aquarium, Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Elouda.
