There is a range of accommodation available and places to eat and drink.

Nature and Environment
The Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) breeds on Maleme Beach, burying their eggs in its soft sand. The environmental organisation, Archelon, in conjunction with a local hotel, organizes educational seminars for their guests which provide information and photographs, helping visitors to understand the life-cycle of the turtles and how to use the beach responsibly during the turtles' breeding season.
Other environmental initiatives include regular beach cleaning events.
Location:
Maleme Beach is located 16km west of Chania. It can be reached by regular public bus service or by your own transport.
