Malia Old Town is an old town area brimming with the original charm of Crete, a stark contrast to the bustling beach zone. Its tranquil atmosphere, with its narrow cobblestone streets, old stone houses, and flower-lined balconies, creates a warm and simple feeling. Inside, you'll find local restaurants and small cafes where you can experience authentic Greek life. It's perfect for strolling, taking photos, and enjoying a slow-paced life, especially in the evening when the soft light makes the area even more romantic and charming. #Crete #CreteIsland #cretehistory

One of my favorite places in Crete One of my favorite places in Crete. I lived here and I can say it's one of the most comfortable places to relax. The location is convenient. There are wild beaches. The food and coffee are delicious everywhere.

The cafe is located in a beautiful old villa with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was super delicious and healthy. We ordered the Soft shell tacos with slow cooked pulled jerk chicken and Thai spiced chicken w/ raw papaya slaw, coconut rice, charred lime and home made satay sauce. Must say the presentation was delightful. Everything was fresh and yummy, and the portions were generous. The iced milo was also excellent to sip along, and they had a variety of options to choose from. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. #mediterraneanfood#staycation
