The resort between Hersonissos and Malia is known by two names: Stalis on most English signs and booking sites, Stalida in Greek and on many maps. It is one place, and this is one page for both spellings - so whichever you searched for, you are in the right spot.
Send your hotel name, the pickup time you need and your group size, and we will personally check what is available today or tomorrow.
Guests sometimes worry they have booked accommodation in the wrong village because the confirmation says Stalida and the sign at the junction says Stalis. They are the same strip of beach and hotels along the old coast road. We deliver across the whole of it: seafront hotels, the apartments behind the main road, and the quieter properties towards the Malia end.
The coastal road, the beach and parking
Stalis is essentially one long road parallel to a long sandy beach, which makes delivery simple and parking manageable outside the evening peak. Turning left across the coast road in high season takes patience, and the stretch towards Malia is busy after dark. Most accommodation has parking or a side street within a few metres; we will confirm the handover spot with you rather than circling the strip.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stalis the same place as Stalida?
Yes. Stalis and Stalida are two names for the same resort between Hersonissos and Malia, which is why we keep one page for both.
Can you deliver a car to my hotel in Stalida today?
Often. The strip is easy to reach, so send the hotel name and time and we will confirm what is possible.
Is parking a problem in Stalis?
Less than in Malia or Hersonissos. Most properties have parking or a nearby side street, though the seafront fills up in the evening.
How long is the drive to Malia?
About ten minutes along the coast road, longer on a busy August evening.
Does sending an enquiry reserve the car?
No. A vehicle is only reserved once we have confirmed availability and you have accepted the final offer.
Is fuel included in the price?
No. Insurance, unlimited kilometres and taxes are included; fuel is not. The fuel policy is written into the offer before you confirm.
