Tucked away amid olive groves, this late Minoan tomb is today just an entrance passage leading to an underground cavity lines with stone. The tools (beehive) dome is gone (as are the contents, either to a museum or to enrich thieves) but you can see how it was constructed by looking up at what remains at the top of the walls. So, just a pile of stone for some, an interesting insight into history for others, and perhaps an indication that it is worth visiting the Archaeological Museum in Chania to see what might have been buried here (aside from the person for whom it...

Very small, but historic.

Consists of a stone corridor (braced with metal bars) leading to a burial tomb. And that's it, so don't expect too much.

Good information on the sign (very high, not great for short people though). No allocated parking, but you can stop at the side of the road and walk there (2 minute walk through an Olive grove).

I think the Olive Grove farmer showed up when we were leaving too, smiley...

Στη θέση «Καύκαλα», κοντά στο Μάλεμε και 17 χιλιόμετρα περίπου από τα Χανιά βρίσκεται ένα από τους πιο καλά διατηρημένους μινωικούς τάφους της Κρήτης, ο θολωτός τάφος του Μάλεμε. Το κτίσμα ανήκει στην δεύτερη υστερομινωική περίοδο και ήρθε τυχαία στην επιφάνεια στις αρχές του προηγούμενου αιώνα. Το 1943-44 οι βομβαρδισμοί προκάλεσαν σημαντική κατάρρευση της στέγης και επίχωση του θαλάμου του θολωτού τάφου του Μάλεμε, με αποτέλεσμα να χρειαστούν αναστηλωτικές εργασίες που ξεκίνησαν το 1970 και έδωσαν στο μνημείο την μορφή που έχει σήμερα. Ο ταφικός θάλαμος στον θολωτό τάφο του Μάλεμε, είναι προσεκτικά κτισμένος από ογκόλιθους πωρολίθου και με συνολικό ύψος γύρω στα 4 μέτρα. Έχει τετράγωνη κάτοψη και φαίνεται ότι κατέληγε σε πυραμιδοειδή στέγη. Ο επισκέπτης του θολωτού τάφου του Μάλεμε πρέπει να περάσει από ένα σύντομο μονοπάτι, που ξεκινά από το δρόμο, καθώς είναι «κρυμμένος» στους ελαιώνες. Μετά το μονοπάτι ξεκινά ο διάδρομος που οδηγεί στην πύλη του τάφου. Η επιβλητική πύλη με 4 μέτρα ύψος, καταλήγει με τη σειρά της μέσα από τον διάδρομο του μνημείου με τους χτιστούς τοίχους, στην εντυπωσιακή θολωτή «αίθουσα του νεκρού». Ο θολωτός Τάφος του Μάλεμε βρίσκεται πολύ κοντά στο ιστορικό πεδίο της Μάχης του Μάλεμε και το Γερμανικό...

It is a short walk up the hill to the tomb but in the heat it's advisable to take water as the cafe is closed due to covid. It is a nice walk so worth going but realy not much to see of the tomb. The german cemetery is 5 minutes walk further up the road and worth a visit.

An old Tholos Tomb that was discovered by accident and looted. Unfortuately the only thing that remains is the architectural structure (and that also was a bit destroyed during WWII but fixed later). Wish it was not looted or preserved better
