On the way, you\u2019ll stumble across plenty of watersports huts where you can sign up for everything from waterskiing and windsurfing to snorkeling and banana boat rides.

Most places cater to international tastes, so you can order everything from burgers and fries to traditional Greek specialties like souvlaki \u2013 marinated kebabs, and pastitsio \u2013 a sort of Greek lasagne. The fare in the tavernas is mostly home-cooked and hearty, while the luxury hotels offer more cosmopolitan dishes like steak fries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3180 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sergiani.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sergiani_restaurant_stalis_crete_food-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sergiani.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sergiani_restaurant_stalis_crete_food-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sergiani.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sergiani_restaurant_stalis_crete_food-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sergiani.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sergiani_restaurant_stalis_crete_food-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore the surrounding countryside on Horseback<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stalis is surrounded by olive-covered mountains which offer glorious views out to sea. One of the best ways to explore them is on horseback, and there\u2019s an excellent riding school in town.
