Malaxa: A Small Village with a Rich History
ABOUT
Nestled at the base of the White Mountains, Malaxa emerges as a quaint village in Chania.
It is conveniently located a short distance from both the port of Souda and the city of Chania.
Visitors can leisurely walk among recently constructed villas and renovated old houses.
One has the opportunity to savour delightful local recipes in the nearby tavernas.
The historical significance of the village is intertwined with its strategic location.
In 1821, it served as the base for the revolutionaries, and around 1860, the Ottomans constructed the renowned tower in the area for defensive purposes.
The village played a significant role in the Battle of Crete.
Today, however, the village is tranquil and perfect for a peaceful holiday experience.
