About 16 km westwards of the town of Chania is located the village and the beach of Maleme. The beach of Maleme constitutes the extension of Platanias - Gerani beaches. 

The fact that it is not as equally busy and popular as its neighbouring beach, it does not mean that it is deprived beauty. The landscape is very picturesque, and allocates big surfaces of sandy beach and clear waters.

There are provided many kinds of water sports, fishing, snorkelling, and diving in the waterfront of Maleme; mountain biking is available on the cliffs south of the village, and horse riding facilities are provided in the horse riding centre in the nearby village of Deres. The long fine pebble beach on the north is partly organised (not crowded) and provides all kind of facilities such as sun-chairs, umbrellas, showers and sea sports. There are cafes, bars and restaurants along the waterfront road.
