Malathiros is located 21km away from Kastelli or Kissamos and 48 km from Hania on the road: Faleliana - Roka- Sfakopigadi - Malathiros. The village is built at 315 a.s.l, it consists of 4 smaller settlements and is the seat of the municipality with 245 inhabitants.

 

Malathiros is a traditional settlement with a long-standing, continuing history which is etched in its traditional buildings, its rich flora and fauna which adorn a natural environment of unmatched beauty and offer its guests special moments of tranquillity.

The word «Malathiros» is derived from the words «malamatenios», which means gold, and «thira», which means door. It literally means «door made from precious materials. The village has a unique, natural beauty and history, with plenty of natural paths, fountains with running water, Byzantine churches and monuments. It was first documented in 1301, where it is referred to as Malachire.

The village is also mentioned at the census of 1577 by Fr. Barozzi .

Sights: The Byzantine church of Agia Irini with well preserved frescoes. There also two other churches, "Kimissi tis Theotokou" and "Astratigos" .

The Fort of Malathiros, 500m to the south, with ruined towers, bastions, water cisterns etc.

Deliana gorge is only 2km far to the east.

History: In 1867 two battles have taken place here, which stopped the forward march of the Turks.

A simple tour for those who want simply all – a superb gorge, simple to walk through yet unknown to all guide books, full of herbs and fascinating flowers... authentic Cretan hospitality, native specialities, unspoilt villages and idyllic landscape and an ancient Minoan mountain retreat, forgotten by history yet still inhabited. The timeless face of Crete on bike, ideal for lovers of nature! The walk through the gorge between Deliana village and Mesavlia is impressive.  The route approaches Deliana from the west, through the village of Malathyros, but here’s an equally pleasant alternative which reaches Deliana from the east, by way of the even smaller village of Kalami.

This walk fits in with the ‘bus schedules, taking the 7.15am from Paleohora, returning on the bus leaving Chania at 12.45pm, and gives ample time of over five hours for a distance of around 12km.  Or drive 2km beyond Mesavlia, and park on the highest point of the road over to Chania, overlooking the gorge (just where the road begins to descend.)Start from the small roadside hut, ‘Honey from the Bee-keeper’, where local honey is on sale during the summer months. (Ask on the bus to stop at ’spiti meli’.)  Walk on towards Chania, then after some 200m turn sharp left on a track winding downhill between vineyards.  After a short distance pass through a gate, closing it carefully after you, as there are many sheep in this valley.  The track leads pleasantly downhill through olive groves, eventually, after around 2km (30 mins) swinging right, more steeply, towards the village of Kalami. Left of the track, surrounded by cypress trees, is the church of St. John the Theologian, worth the short diversion through olive trees.

The path from the church re-joins the main track and leads towards the tiny village.  On reaching the surfaced road below the village turn left, then almost immediately left again on a descending track, which will take you to Deliana, 2km distant. On the way, a sharp left turn after 1km will take you directly to the gorge, avoiding the village.  Continue past another small church, less interesting, and when the track meets a surfaced road, turn left into Deliana, where there are several cafes for a mid-morning coffee or early lunch.Walk over the bridge, through Deliana, and be sure to visit the church of Agios Ioannis, which has exceptional frescos. On the outskirts of the village turn left on the track indicating ‘Gorge of Deliana’, and 15 mins later reach the entrance to the gorge. With picnic tables under shady plane trees, and a water tap nearby, it’s a delightful place to rest awhile.

The gorge, though short, is impressive - not on the scale of Agia Irini or Samaria of course, but delightful to walk through.  In winter or early spring you may have to paddle or wade across some or all of the six shallow fords in the lower part (so take a small towel!)There’s a mystery here, for a short way up the gorge (of Deliana) there are signs that it’s actually the Gorge of Mesavlia.  Both the administrative areas (dimos) of Kolimbari and Voukolies claim it as their own,  a dispute long unresolved.  No matter, you will have enjoyed walking through both the Gorge of Deliana and Mesavlia in the space of half an hour!Climbing steadily, watch out for the enormous griffon vultures which are frequently seen soaring above the gorge, and nest in the immense limestone cliffs.  Pass the little church of Agia Paraskevi, tucked under a rock face, after which the stony track steepens to meet a wider track (to Malathyros).  Turn left, then walk through the scattered houses of Mesavlia village, cross over a little stream, and finally up to the main road and bus shelter.The bus to Paleohora passes approx. 1 hour after leaving Chania -  or if you’ve parked near the start of the walk,  you’ve still another 2km back to the car.
