After arriving and checking into your hotel, you'll probably want to explore your surroundings. If you can't wait to check out the beaches, head to Malia Beach or Potamos Beach for a relaxing day by the water. Take advantage of the area's swimming, and make time for local attractions such as Stalis Beach and Heraklion Port. For even more to see and do, pay a visit to Star Beach Water Park or Palace of Malia.
