Since 1998 coastal villages Malia and Stalis plus their mountain counterparts Krassi and Mohos have formed one municipality of which Malia holds the administrative seat. It covers a surface area of 6,720 acres and has a population of 6,210.   Economic Profile   Agriculture occupies an important place in Malia’s economic profile with olive oil, potatoes, bananas and vegetables taking up the lion’s share of the rural produce. However, it is only secondary to the tourism sector, which is the greatest contributor to Malia’s economy.   Birthplace of Civilization   Remains of a unique palace are evidence of the glorious Minoan civilization that flourished here 4,000 years ago and that turned Malia into an important trade and mercantile center with substantial political and economic power.   Botanical Paradise   Located on a crossroad between Europe, Asia and Africa, Crete counts about 1,800 species of flora. Britain – 30 times the size of Crete – counts 1,550. Of these species about 160 are endemic only to Crete; a respectable percentage compared to Britain’s mere 16 species.
