Maleme has a few large hotels and several pleasant apartments close to the beach and some bars and tavernas. It's beach is made of fine pebbles and is popular though often less crowded than the beaches of Gerani, Agia Marina and Platanias. Maleme is best known as a landing site for German paratroopers invading Crete in 1941, at the start of the Battle of Crete (Operation Mercury) during World War II. The paratroopers captured the airstrip, which is located just outside the town. Once captured, this airstrip allowed the Germans to airlift in the reinforcements needed to capture the rest of the island. Many of the paratroopers lost their lives in the attack and are buried in the German war cemetery (35.533779°N 23.831137°E) located on a hill above Maleme.
