In the west part of Crete and with less tourists than in
Platanias and Agia Marina, is located the village of
Maleme. It is on the coast road from Chania direction
Kolimbari and Kastelli.
A long beach with taverns, small hotels and rooms to
rent. Nearby the german war cementary.
Maleme was where the old airport of Chania, which has now been abandoned,
was situated. This is also where the massive German invasion by parachutists
began, during the Battle of Crete.
North of the village, at a place called Kafkalos, a vaulted late Minoan
tomb, which had been plundered and only contained some potsherds and two
sealstones, was discovered.
