Surrounded by beautiful flowers and the Mediterranean blue of the ocean, the Irini Studios in Stalis is located in Crete on an idyllic Grecian beach.The studio apartments come with a small kitchenette and tea kettle, and each nice sized room features its own private terrace to enjoy a picturesque view of the ocean, or of the surrounding mountains of Crete.

The Irini Studios offer 24 hour reception, internet, and currency exchange on the premises. Sun beds around the pool, and concierge service to set up tours or book a car are also available.This studio style hotel offers a bar and lounge poolside, but for more substantial fare, most guests enjoy the restaurant called Restaurant Creta, which features traditional fare. Guests are within a short distance of Stalis beach, but may also enjoy taking a horseback ride at the Amarillis Stables, or enjoy shopping in the many nearby boutiques.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Irini Studios, located at Nikolaou Grammatikaki, Stalida, Heraklion Region, 70007, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Irini Studios, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Irini Studios are revisited so often.
