Map & location


Stalis, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

Latania sits in the very heart of Stalis, one of Crete’s most relaxed north-coast resorts. Step outside and you’re moments from cafés, traditional tavernas and shops, with the resort’s standout – its long, gently shelving beach – just across the road.

Regular local buses make it easy to day-trip east to Aghios Nikolaos or west towards Heraklion, while scenic walking routes with views of the Dikti Mountains tempt you to explore inland countryside sprinkled with wildflowers in spring and early summer. Stalis itself is laid-back by day, with livelier nightlife easily reached in neighbouring Malia and Hersonissos if you fancy a late one.

  • Beach 30m
  • Aghios Nikolaos 30km (public bus every 30 minutes, subject to timetable)
  • Heraklion 30km (public bus every 30 minutes, subject to timetable)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The focal point of Latania is its outdoor freshwater pool, framed by palms and sunbeds. A separate children’s section means younger swimmers can splash about while adults relax nearby. Sunbeds and parasols line the surrounding terrace, and inflatables and water toys are permitted, which is great news for families.

With Stalis’ long, sandy beach just 30m away, you can easily split your days between poolside lounging and sea swims. The beach shelves gently into clear, calm water – ideal for paddling, swimming and trying simple watersports available locally.

– Reception open 12 hours per day with luggage storage
