This beach is simply delightful. For a mere 5 euros, you can rent a comfortable chair to bask in the sun. The convenience of having bars, restaurants, and restrooms in close proximity is an added bonus. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even rent a jetski for some exhilarating fun on the water.

We visited during mid-October, which is considered off-season. Our experience was a bit mixed. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach. It wasn't too crowded in October, but we can imagine it gets busier during the main season. The sun beds cost 12 euros, which we found to be quite expensive. However, there is also the option to use the ones at the pool for free. We preferred going to Patamos or other beaches instead. The rooms are modern and clean, and the beds are comfortable. However, don't expect any special amenities. They charge 7 euros per day for using the air conditioning and 4 euros for a safe. If you're sensitive to noise at night, it's better to choose a sea view room. There was constant noise from the street, and we can only imagine how it is during the high season. The breakfast was okay. It mostly consisted of the same items every day, such as ham, cheese, bread, butter, jam, and sometimes bacon and eggs. They also served fruits and coffee, but it was always served on a plate rather than a buffet. The service was kind, and we especially appreciated the great job done by Costa, who we assume is the owner's son. The drinks at the hotel bar were excellent. In terms of location, to be honest, Malia and Stalis were disappointing. There is one main road with very little space for pedestrians, as it is filled with buses, scooters, quads, and rental cars. The city mainly consists of touristy shops, car rentals, and restaurants. There is no old town to be seen, and you have to walk a bit to reach it. While we did have some decent cocktails in the more expensive bars, the food in the restaurants of Malia was mediocre. Don't be fooled by their good reviews. Instead, check out the small old town of Malia. We were happy to finally get our rental car and explore other parts of the island.

This beach is absolutely fantastic. If you're interested, Dimitrios can rent you a bed with an umbrella for around €7 or €8 and give you some insider information about the surrounding area. There's also a cafe/bistro nearby that serves delicious food and drinks, accompanied by lounge music. It's the perfect spot for a laid-back day at the beach.
