The weather is starting to get considerably warmer in Malia in April, though the Mediterranean climate can still be unpredictable at this time of the year and a visit may still see colder and wet weather, as well as the warm and sunny days.
April's an ideal time of the year to visit if you want to explore the area away from the crowds of tourists and the 18-30 crowd who tend to frequent the area in the main tourism season of the summer- from June to September.
Those looking for a more active holiday will find plenty to do in Malia.
Though it will likely still be too cool for water sports on the beach, the nearby Troodos Mountain range offers plenty of walking, hiking and trekking trails.
