Holidays in Stalis

It's not that long since this was a tranquil little hamlet … But Stalis couldn't stay undiscovered. When your village is set by one of the best beaches on the island, just like Topsy, it grows and grows. So holidays in Stalis today can be pretty lively affairs.

The gorgeous golden sands start here and stretch to Malia and beyond, so barefoot strolls could take you all the way to neon nights at your nearest neighbour. Backing the beach is an unbroken line of hotels, restaurants, bars and tavernas, and just behind these are … more hotels, restaurants, bars and tavernas – with a couple of discos added for good measure.

Next stage back from the sea is the accommodation – from which you could choose to go simply stylish or cheerfully cheap. Holidays in Stalis include the charming Hotel Moonlight – gazing out to the bluest blue sea, and a whole host of self-catering apartments – sized for couples, families or friends. With so much on offer, it's a great candidate for late deals too, so you could pick up a real bargain on last minute holidays to Stalis.

And here's another advantage to this friendly, laid back resort. It's only when you tear yourself away that you realise how well positioned Stalis holidays are. The local buses go east to Aghios Nikolaos and Elounda, and west to the water's edge eateries of Hersonissos and the bustling streets of Heraklion, the island's capital. A change of scene is effortless. And it's a fabulous place to come home to …
