Malia is located on the northern coast of the island of Crete, in Greece.
A trip Malia in March gives you the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful coastal town without too many other visitors around.
If you're looking to avoid the 18-30 party crowd that arrives in the summer, spring is a good time to travel. A holiday here at this time of year will allow you to enjoy the pleasant weather, without the party going crowds.
It begins to warm up a bit in March, but it is still a little too cool for most beach goers.
It is advised that travellers consult local weather forecasts before arriving in Malia so that appropriate clothing can be packed.
The daytime is just warm enough in March for visitors to take advantage of the guided 'Safari' tours of Malia and the surrounding areas of Crete.
Land Rovers take passengers on all day tours of either the mountainous region of Lassithi, where they will see the cave of Zeus and also Eco Village, or to the coastal area of Preveli and the monumental gorges of Crete.
Meals and wine are provided for the trip and other foods and drinks can be purchased along the way.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay on your trip, try the Ariadne Beach Hotel. The hotel has a fantastic beachfront location for budget prices and comes highly recommended by past guests.
