Stalis beach is located 30 km east of Heraklion, between Malia and Hersonissos. The beach be accessed from Heraklion by the bus running to east Crete, but you will stop on the Old National Road, just 500m from the beach.
This location attracts mainly families since it is very well organized, with large and small hotels, restaurants, bars and taverns. You will also find ATM and a pharmacy.
Beside the seaside road lies a long sandy beach with shallow water, which extends to the east till Malia. The beach is broken into two parts by a short rocky cape. Nearby there is the Byzantine Church of Agios Ioannis, dating back in 1600.
The beach of Stalis is peaceful and very well organized with umbrellas, lifeguard, beach volley courts, showers, beach bars, water sports, changing rooms, and generally anything that a well organized beach has.
A walk along the beach in the afternoon is a must!
For lovers of hiking, there is the Bulgarian trail that ascends to Mohos and starts from Stalis. The distance from Mohos is 5km but the trail is long, ascending and without shade. On the road you will pass a pedestrian bridge that crosses the highway and after a while you will find the modern monastery of Panagia Theogenitor (Virgin Mary).
