Maleme: A Charming Village with a Rich History and Stunning Beach
ABOUT
The village is intimately tied to the Battle of Crete and the air raid that led to the occupation of its historic airport by German forces during World War II.
Beyond its wartime legacy, Maleme's history extends to ancient times, as evidenced by the well-preserved ruins of a vaulted tomb from the Late Minoan era.
While the village offers an ideal setting for peaceful holidays, it has also evolved into a cosmopolitan tourist resort with global acclaim.
A highlight worth exploring is the recently renovated and expansive beach, serving as a venue for unforgettable summer concerts.
