Katrin Hotel and Bungalows sits on a gentle hillside above Stalis, perfectly placed between the buzz of Malia and Hersonissos yet with a calmer, more village-like feel. A short walk brings you to one of Crete’s most popular sandy beaches, lined with tavernas, bars and shops.

Evenings are as lively or low-key as you like: stay local for a relaxed seafront dinner, or hop in a taxi to nearby resorts if you fancy something a little more upbeat. The hillside setting brings a touch of seclusion and some steps around the property, rewarding you with glimpses of the sea and surrounding hills.

• 300m from the beach
• 300m from Stalis resort centre (shops, bars and restaurants)
