Stalis Holidays

Stalis is a holiday resort found on the north coast of Crete, the largest of Greece’s islands. This resort was once a resting point for Greek farmers but has now been transformed to a lively holiday resort, attracting holiday-goers from all around the world to its shores every year.

Stalis is a laid-back resort that is home to numerous beautiful beaches and many historical sites, waiting to be explored. The Bulgarian trail in Stalis will bring you to Mochos, a village that was built by captive Bulgarians during the second world war. The resort neighbours the resort of Malia, making Stalis the perfect settling point for a lively holiday.

Stalis is the perfect holiday destination for families and couple’s looking for a laid-back sun holiday. Due to the resort’s vicinity to Malia, Stalis is also suitable for young couples that want a beach holiday with a party atmosphere within walking distance.

There are no direct flights to Crete from Ireland, due to this travel times may vary depending on connecting flights and layovers. From Heraklion airport, it is a short 25-minute journey to the resort.
