How to get to Malavra
Malavra is accessible only by private cars and motorbikes.
In the road connecting Agios Nikolaos and Sitia, take a left turn as soon as you reach the village of Kavousi, opposite the church.
There is a sign leading to Tholos beach which you will find at the end of a road, driving through olive groves.
Little before the Tholos beach, you will see a dirt track on your right leading to the fresh water springs of Malavra.
Park your vehicle and follow the short and easy path to Malavra beach.
