When we arrived, we were allocated room 324, and paid for our air conditioning and safety deposit box straight away - both were an absolute necessity, especially the air conditioning, as without it the heat would have built up during the day and been stifling when we arrived home at night. Room 324 overlooks the sea and you can see the ...

Stelios Stalis has two adult pools (one of which was quite slippy), a children's pool, a play park, a bar/restaurant, internet access, a playstation 2, poolside games (i.e. air hockey, snooker etc.) and a poolside library with a range of books donated by previous customers.
