Straightforward and well appointed, the Panorama Studios and Apartments make a great base for Greek island beach holidays. At this family-friendly hotel, most socialising happens around the sun patio and pool. Dining options include a casual restaurant and two bars – one by the pool and the other on the beach. Rooms are simple and clean, with decent-sized balconies or terraces. These apartments are conveniently located, with Stalis’ shops and restaurants on the doorstep and the beach a few minutes' walk away. Malia – one of the liveliest towns on this stretch of Crete’s northern coast – is under a 10-minute drive away from Stalis.
