Last month I visited the beautiful Greek island Crete. I stayed in the small town of Stalis which although small had plenty of restaurants and bars to explore. Stalis is close to the well known town of Malia, typically full of British teenagers on their first holiday away from their parents. Malia has built up a reputation of being a "trashy" and "tacky" resort my experience was rather different. "The strip" was not intimidating and full of restaurants and bars to relax in. The clubs did not open until 2am so if you want some of at atmosphere but want to avoid the party scene I would recommend going out earlier. With two cocktails for 7euros it is very cheap! Just before the strip we discovered Drossia..this is the best restaurant in the area, we liked it so much we ate there two nights! All the food was local and freshly prepared it was by far one of the best restaurants I have been to. We also found a beautiful local bakery at the end of the strip which has so many delicious looking cakes and baklava (traditional Greek desert) they were a little pricer than the supermarkets but well worth it.
