The small coastal village and the beaches of Maleme were the site of fierce fighting during the invasion of Crete by German forces in World War 2. Now a tranquil spot offering excellent sunbathing and swimming for local residents and tourists. Small tavernas along the seafront offer refreshment to visitors and provide welcome shade during the fierce summer heat.
