Back to newsA student from Scone Grammar School in Australia is set to tour Greek World War Two battlefields, including sites connected to the 1941 Battle of Crete. Crete holds significant WWII history, particularly around Chania and the Maleme Airfield area, where Allied and Axis forces clashed in one of the war's most intense airborne invasions. The German Military Cemetery at Maleme and the Allied War Cemetery in Souda Bay are open to visitors year-round and offer a sobering perspective on the island's wartime past. The Battle of Crete Memorial Museum in Chania provides additional historical context. For tourists interested in WWII history, these sites are easily accessible from Chania and require no advance booking. Entry to the cemeteries is free.
