Advantages: Great location, low cost Disadvantages: Basic (by standards of travellers used to Spain and the like)
...In June this year, myself and my boyfriend travelled to Crete for a one week holiday in Stalis. We chose the Stelios StalisApartments as they were not too expensive and in a very good location.
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 Stalis beach road and the mountains rain or shine. Luckily from the 10th to the 17th June there was only one feeble attempt at rain one evening, which only lasted five minutes! It was very clean inside, and had all the basic essentials - TV, hair dryer, cutlery, cooker, shower, bath etc. The one thing I would...

...We booked a 7 day holiday with Kosmar who are the self proclaimed experts on Greek holidays at a cost of £384 each and were looking forward to our last holiday of the year. We were booked to stay at the Irini Studios in Stalis for what we discovered was the last week of the season.

...STELIOS STALIS APPARTMENTS
CRETE
This is a wonderful low cost destination for families, couples, and groups, young and old. There is something for everyone. The facilities are outstanding and very undersold in the brochure.
Star rating: 2+ (Should be at least 3).
Cost: per person for 14 nights self-catering, roughly £500 in peak season!
Facilities: If you have travelled to Greece before you will know that the facilities are usually more basic than in other regions of Europe, especially the self-catering studios and apartments. Not here at Stelios Stalisapartments. The facilities are excellent, the accommodation is well equipped, and includes microwave and air conditioning and telephone. The bathrooms are decorated and equipped to a high standard and include a bath and show. There is also a maid service every alternate day...
