Weather Overview for Malia

Malia is a cosmopolitan coastal town on the northern side of Crete. Malia is indisputably a destination for the young, and generally for the young who love the party. Despite the fact that it is one of the oldest inhabited areas in all of Greece, in recent years it has been taken over by young, partying Brits who are keen to soak up to hot summers days and steamy partying nights.

Summer temperatures begin in about June and carry through until September. June sees average temperatures of 22 degrees, moving into July and August which each play host to average temperatures of 25 degrees. September sees average highs of 26 degrees and average lows of a pleasant 19 degrees.

Autumn months of October and November see average temperatures of 19 and 16 degrees respectively, and this coincides with when the island sees its most rainfall.

Winter in Malia, like most coastal Mediterranean towns, is pretty mild. December sees average highs of 16 degrees and average lows of a reasonably comfortable 10 degrees. January and February are the coldest months, each with an average low of 8 degrees and an average high of 14 degrees.

All in all, if you want a buzzing party spot when visiting Greece, Malia should be high on the priority list and if you want round-the-clock fun and packed clubs and bars, then summer is the time to visit. Malia has everything that a wild seaside party town should offer- scorching sun during the day so that revels can work on their tans and sleep off their hangovers, and balmy nights to enjoy the local bars and clubs. The sea temperature stays bath like throughout summer, so it provides for a useful place to cool down and escape from the heat of the world famous nightclubs - a frequent sight in the early hours of the morning

The local Malia beach, stretching for 5km, is one of the best on the whole of Crete. The fine, golden sand is lined with sun beds and parasols and plays hosts to an array of water sports.
