Just above the pool area, two balconies provide ideal spots for morning coffee, quiet reading, or evening wine, with views stretching from the Aegean Sea to Crete’s snow-dusted peaks. A covered BBQ area invites you to enjoy al fresco dining with family and friends in complete privacy.

Private off-road parking is available for multiple vehicles via a sloping driveway.

Neighborhood Overview
Stalos is a vibrant coastal village known for its long sandy beach, relaxed atmosphere, and proximity to some of the island’s best dining and attractions. Just 500 meters from the villa lies Kato Stalos Beach, where soft sands meet clear, shallow waters—perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or a morning stroll. The nearby Blue Flag beach of Agia Marina offers additional seaside options, sunbeds, and lively beachfront tavernas.
Explore the charming inland village of Pano Stalos, just a short drive uphill, where you’ll find traditional tavernas and a slower pace of life. For more dining, shopping, and nightlife, head to Agia Marina or Platanias. Or venture further to visit some of Crete’s most iconic beaches, including Elafonisi, Falassarna, and Balos Lagoon—all reachable within a day trip.
Getting Around
While local shops and the beach are within walking distance, we recommend having a car for maximum convenience and to explore the wider region. Villa Selena is located just a 20-minute drive from Chania’s Venetian Harbor and Old Town, and less than 40 minutes from Chania International Airport.
