Maleme Excursion: Exploring Chania's Historical Gem
Situated just 16 kilometres from Chania, Maleme beckons with its incredible beach and more!
This area boasts a rich history, marked by the discovery of a vaulted tomb, the most elaborate in western Crete.
Yet, Maleme is also tied to a sombre chapter in Crete's past—the German occupation. Remnants of this period linger in the form of a German military cemetery, serving as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by Crete during those difficult years.
