Paloma Garden settles into the charming village of Stalis, where the Cretan coast reveals its quieter side. This hotel lets you breathe easy despite the nearby buzz – just a short walk from sandy beaches and a lively village centre brimming with tavernas and shops. The garden is a green haven dotted with flowers, while the large outdoor pool invites you to cool off. Around 49 rooms are simply but pleasantly furnished, each with a balcony overlooking the garden or water. Beyond swimming and sunbathing, there's table tennis, billiards, and water sports on the nearby beach. In the restaurant, you'll enjoy authentic Cretan cuisine made with local ingredients – particularly rewarding if you opt for half-board.
