The village of Stalis is the perfect destination for endless days on the beach while soaking up the glorious Mediterranean sun. From couples to families, every traveller is well catered for. Located between Malia and Hersonissos on the north coast of Crete, this low-key resort is a lot quieter than its busier neighbours. But there’s still plenty of things to see and do here. Whether it’s enjoying the famous Crete hospitality at a local taverna, shopping for authentic souvenirs made by locals or relaxing on glorious sandy beaches, Stalis holidays are ideal for the whole family. Its also within easy reach of the capital Heraklion if you want to explore more of the island’s fascinating history and culture.
Food & drink in Stalis
As you would expect from a quaint coastal village, Stalis specialises in traditional Crete cuisine, which features the best in locally grown fresh ingredients. Along with Cretan salads dressed in olive oil, expect to see plenty of speciality cheeses on restaurant menus. These are often prepared with pastry in the form of Sarikopitakia and Kalitsounia. When it comes to drinks, Tsikoudia is a grape-based brandy similar to Italitan grappa. Beer and wine are also produced on the island.
