Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre

Aquaworld - Crete's first Aquarium - opened in Hersonissos in 1995 - near Bus Stop 20. It features local sea life and reptiles from Crete and from all around the world. Most of the animals are rescued or are unwanted pets which have found a new home at Aquaworld. Our philosophy is simple - bring people and animals closer together and, inevitably, people will begin to respect and care more about the animals! YOU MUST WEAR MASKS TO VISIT!

Easy to find and in walking distance from my hotel the palmera hotel. Friendly and informative staff. Aquarium small but well kept. Reptile area very good and staff very helpful. Was also able to hold a snake. Well worth a visit for 8 euro. I would definitely recommend

Based on the difficulty levels, we chose the Holy Secret room. The clues were not too easy, and it required some skill as well. When we became stuck, the talented game master gave helpful clues to move us along in the right pace. Very interesting riddles and great actors making the whole experience even more exciting!

The Hub MTB Adventures

The Hub was founded in 2014, as a partnership between friends with a passion for outdoor activities. Over the years we have enjoyed this form of entertainment around the world and decided to promote it upon our return to Crete, due to the unique features of the island. The Hub offers a variety of single-day and multi-day led tours, taking you to special locations within the island, all year round. A range of quality mountain bikes are available for the tours or for rent. We recommend led tours, as the ideal routes for mountain-biking and hikin are predominantly dirt roads and paths, either used by the locals to reach their fields or are ancients paths used by former generations and have not yet been properly mapped. Our goal is to take our guests on an adventure that is fun, non competitive and social with an authentic taste of true Crete. 2020 is here and hub have new e-tours to provide for all level. for more information visit our website.

This bar is by far the best in Malia. It has a welcoming feel to it as soon as you walk in and it has the feel of your local just at home. They have a idiots quiz twice a week witch has a variety of different questions on different topics, no quiz has the same questions so you can go back for them all. The quiz also has shout-out rounds witch are loads of fun where you can win prises. The decoration is really good and you can tell the bar is run proudly. Gina, Bronwen and Deano are all brilliant people who don’t hesitate to spend time getting to know your name and a little bit about you which makes you feel at ease and they are easy to chat too and good listeners. Their is a variety of good drinks as well. The bar has a friendly feel to it and everyone canny help but mingling around and chatting to each other because everyone feels relaxed. I would recommend this bar to anyone who is in Crete and they definitily made my time in Malia that more better. Can’t wait to go back and see everyone. Much love, fiona x
