Resort is amazing, and staff is warm and welcoming. About 20 minutes from Heraklion airport. We are a family of 4 and stayed in a room with a sliding door and two rooms with 1 king and 2 twins with a balcony overlooking the pool and partial ocean view. We stayed at the end of March, the weather was touch and go, some days warm and sunny, others cool and cloudy. The high season began April 1, so some restaurants and the waterpark were closed. The pools were available, but water was ice cold. We didn't mind. My son is 11 and could not use the gym, have to be 15 and up, however, there were other activities like basketball and soccer. Food is all-inclusive, had something for everyone. If you forget to pack something, they have an onsite supermarket with pretty reasonable prices. Lastly, cats, you will see them, about 3 or 4 that hang around. Not too aggressive, but definitely waited for food. There is a sister resort next door that Lyttos guests have access to.

The breakfast was excellent but what made the experience exceptional was the staff and a special acknowledgement to George and his breakfast team Despina and Sophia at the reception , Michalis, Danae, Antoni at the beach and Zacharias and Dino - they were all awesome . Our vacation ended with a special touch with an impeccable drive to the airport with Ari who invited us to his hometown and convinced us to return to Crete !

The breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I’ve had. We also enjoyed the taverna in a nearby village. The staff had wonderful recommendations for beaches, restaurants, etc. Really special place.

We were sadly only here for a quick overnight stay. But during our week in Crete - where we travelled to Chania, Heraklion, and Rethymno - Rethymno was by some margin my favourite destination. Where Chania's historic centre felt as if it had been totally given over to tourism, Rethymno felt more like a substantial town with plenty to explore.

Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

Stalis is perfect for all ages and families. If you want partying then Malia is far enough down the road to go to and it doesn't overspill to Stalis. We ate in a different restaurant each night of our 7 night stay. It has something for everyone and great choices of food. We will return next year for sure. It has everything :)

The people are very friendly and most speak or can communicate in several European languages. The city is clean (no litter !!) and the food a and drink is excellent Culturally - this is superb - if ancient history and tall tales of greek mythology are of interest - the museums are well laid out and tourist groups "directed" One significant and pleasant item is that if you are an EU resident and 65 plus you get reduced entry fees into the national museums and attractions ( ID needed)

A small vibrant fishing village which offers plenty of restaurants and accommodations. The beach is clean but a little small. Water is clean with access via a short walk from the village centre. It is quite hilly and may present problems for certain visitors. Evenings are very lively with many restaurants and some shops. It is centrally placed for journeys to others beaches and destinations such as Matala, Spili and so on.

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete.

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete. That said and while it is lovely there are more enjoyable towns and getting around is relatively easy. 4 -5 days in Heraklio was enough for us and the lure of other Cretan places was greater. Overall the Cretan people are mostly welcoming which is heartening given the numbers of tourists going there that must drive them crazy at times!
