Also would anyone know where I could obtain a map showing hotels on the beach side of the busy main road?

Cheers,

Hi we stayed in Blue sea Bungalows a couple of years ago and we loved it there we got a really good deal with Medhotels, it is all inclusive, right on the beach and right near the town, some reviews are mixed but it was one of the best holidays we had. Try Medhotels for a good deal.

Good luck

Try this

http://www.stalis.info/default-en.htm

It shows most hotels in Stalis. Click on City Map on the left, then a number on the map.

have you picked through the Stallis hotel revires in the Crete hotel review forum

Hi, thanks for the advice guys.

I've checked out the map, hotel review list and medhotels. Just a couple of further questions; Is the medhotels site only priced for hotels? I assume it is, so where would be best to book flights? And can this way be troublesome to organise, or is it just a case of book flights, book hotel and book transfersor car hire?

Also when would be cheapest to book?

Cheers,
Al

or you could get a package price to include your choice of hotel from someone like fleetway [i usualy use them for flight/hotel packs they can also quote transfers if you want

Ok we've now got it down to two hotels, the Christana beach hotel and the Anemi but both have mixed reviews on various sites; here, holidaywatchdog and tripadvisor, so I'm looking for some advice on which one to choose.

Cheers,
Al

Plenty of reviews on here for both hotels.

Have you thought about the hotel anastacia? its a greak family run hotel and havent read a bad review anywhere about this hotel. The Ekati appartments are in a good location and right on the beach also but do have mixed reviews.
Hopeing to book Anastacia myself v. soon.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the advice - we have finally chosen. We have booked 7 nights in the Christiana beach hotel in June. Hopefully we have chosen well!

We just need to book car hire now for either 3 or 7 days, can't yet decide. Could we hire a car in Stalis itself or do we need to pick up/drop off at the airport? Also does anyone know the best place to get a bargain on car hire? And what insurances are involved?

Cheers,
Al
