Map & location


Analipsis, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

Stella Village Seaside Hotel is set in the peaceful resort of Analipsis on Crete’s north coast, surrounded by olive groves and moments from a sandy shoreline. This is a quieter corner of the Heraklion area, so you can expect a more traditional Cretan feel than in livelier Hersonissos nearby.

Wander into Analipsis village to find whitewashed buildings, a pretty square and a small pier with a chapel on the water’s edge, or simply stay beachside and enjoy the clear Aegean Sea and long stretch of sand and shingle.

  • • Beach 35m
  • • Analipsis resort centre 1km
  • • Hersonissos around 6–8km (short taxi ride)
  • • Heraklion city & harbour 20–25km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour
