Stalis Holidays – Popular mixed resort close to Malia
Stalis (sometimes known as Stalida) is on the north coast of Crete and is next to the well-known resort of Malia and 3 miles from Hersonissos. Stalis holidays are just 18 miles from Heraklion airport. Holidays here are for beach lovers, couples and families who would like a developed resort offering a range of beaches and nightlife without the wildness of its more famous neighbour Malia.

Holidays in Stalis – Lots of sandy beaches and waterside restaurants 
Stalis boasts a selection of good sandy beaches divided by rocks. The resort has lots of bars and tavernas including many by the side of the beach with pleasant terraces. Some discos open until late but it is all a far cry from the non-stop action at Malia. Stalis is a good all round choice with something for everyone, without the inconveniences or isolation of more out-of-the-way small resorts.

Stalis Holidays – A base for excursions and north coast resorts
Stalis visitors could use good public transport connections to visit the other resorts along this stretch of Crete coast like Hersonissos, which is another established busy and cosmopolitan beach and party resort. The town mini train visits neighbouring Malia.  Stalis is backed by the rugged Dikti Mountains. The immediate surroundings inland are pretty, with agricultural land supporting fruit and olive plantations. Other worthwhile favourite Stalis excursions are boat trips to the beautiful island of Santorini and the fortress on Spinalonga Island, the Minoan Palace at Knossos and the traditional Crete villages of the Lassithi region.
