Villa Ritsa

If you’re looking for a simple and comfortable base in Crete, look no further. Villa Ritsa is in the heart of Stalis, just a five-minute wander from the beach, with plenty of bars, cafes, and restaurants on route. The beach is a sandy stretch that’s well set up for sunbathing and watersports.

If you’re spending the day at the hotel, the pool is the place to be. The rectangular pool is surrounded by a collection of loungers and parasols, as well as neatly manicured gardens dotted with palm trees. The hotel has its own bar, which serves food and drinks all day long and has a pool table. For little ones, there’s a smaller shallow swimming spot set into the main sun terrace.
