- Chris V3 contributionsWonderful complete experience!We were passing by and we took some pictures from the entrance. But once we decided to come inside everything and everyone was wonderful. From the cocktails (I really recommend the Zombie) to shishas and the snacks as well. We have been here so many times and I couldn't recommend you enough to visit Villa Malia Cocktail lounge bar.

The cocktails were tasty, so nothing to say about taste, but you get little cocktail for your money. Those glasses could use a little more booze and less ice. In addition, you absolutely have to be patient here. Ordering a second cocktail can easily take half an hour, while there were a maximum of 30 people. Ambiance fine, staff leave something to be desired (not really concerned with watching the terrace) after they park you on a chair. And ff about those chairs: they are anything but comfortable. Musically, well, you have to love that. Not my style, but that's personal. If taste is your main motivation, you should sit down here, because the cocktails are tasty, otherwise I would say.

Dear Dennis,
Thank you for visiting our bar and taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the taste of our cocktails, as we take great pride in offering a unique selection of drinks that truly capture the flavors of Crete.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the size of the cocktails and the speed of service. On the day of your visit, we were unfortunately short-staffed, as one team member was on a scheduled day off and another was unexpectedly sick. Additionally, our order-taking system was down, which contributed to the delays you experienced. Despite these challenges, our team worked incredibly hard to provide the best service possible, and as the owner, I’m very proud of their efforts that day.
We always strive to ensure our guests have an excellent experience, and as part of our service, we make a point to check in with our guests during their visit to ensure everything is okay. In our culture, it’s customary for guests to raise their hands if they need anything, which is something we encourage to help us attend to everyone as promptly as possible. We hope this helps clarify our approach to service.
Running a bar during the summer in Crete can sometimes be unpredictable, with one evening being quiet and the next unexpectedly busy. This can occasionally lead to longer wait times, and we appreciate your understanding. Rest assured, we’re always working to improve and streamline our operations to provide a seamless experience for all our guests.
Located between Malia and Stalis, our bar is a place where we strive to create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. We understand that tastes in music and seating comfort can vary, and we aim to create an ambiance that appeals to a broad range of guests.
We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance the next time you’re in Crete. We’re always striving to enhance our service, and your insights help us in this process. Please join us again for another enjoyable visit and some more delicious cocktails.
Best regards,
Stefanos Vasilakis

What a great bar! My girlfriend and I spent the whole week there. The cocktails were delicious (gin tonic rose and 43 spritz are recommended), they played nice music, organized fun Greek evenings with good singers and the staff was above all very nice and interested. They do everything to make you happy, the customer is king. In addition to the great cocktails, they also have delicious shisha (berry was great) and even delicious lunch (chocolate crepes, bruschetta and the hot dog!). I hope to come back again for all the goodies... Stefanos, Zacharia and Manos, thank you for the good care and a great week!
