Maleme: Expert-Advice & Booking by kreta.com the travel experts for Greece
Maleme, located on the north-west coast of Crete, was originally of strategic importance and the landing point of the German army in World War II. Today the exceptionally well tended German military cemetery is a place in which to reflect. The beach is a mixture of shingle and sand. On the beachfront there are some self-catering apartments and villas. The seaside village Maleme is located in western Crete 15 km westwards from Chania-Town. History of Maleme:
German paratroopers landed in Maleme in May 1941, fierce positional battles ensued.
The German military cemetery is today behind Maleme at a height of 110 meters above sea level. It is a very well-kept cemetery. The guest book and visitors' comments are also interesting! There is a nice cafe where you can stop. Mostly all people don't want to visit cemeteries while on vacation, but visiting Maleme you´ll realize how good we are today in a united Europe. It didn't harm my holiday mood.
The hinterland of Maleme, Tavronitis and Kolimbari consists of countless olive groves and vineyards. Small hills with cypresses, plane trees, fig trees and, of course, the Cretan oak.
