A short scenic drive from Hersonissos brings you to Riviera — private beach, fresh seafood off the BBQ, signature cocktails and breathtaking Aegean sea views in Stalis.
Worth the Drive
Hersonissos has no shortage of restaurants — but Riviera is something different. Ten minutes west along the coast, in the quieter village of Stalis, you arrive at a private beachfront setting where the focus is entirely on the experience: fresh fish grilled to order, Greek cocktails made with local spirits, and a table facing the open Aegean.
Rated 5.0 stars on Google by guests who make the short drive and never regret it.
Getting Here
An easy drive along the coastal road — no highways, no confusion. Follow the sea and you'll find us.
The Experience
From the moment you sit down facing the Aegean, the evening unfolds at its own pace. Start with Greek meze and a cocktail, move on to fresh fish off the live BBQ, and end with Ouzo under the Cretan stars.
Near Hersonissos
Riviera sits on the seafront at Agiou Ioanni 104 in Stalis (Stalida), the relaxed coastal village between Hersonissos and Malia. Guests staying in Hersonissos, Anissaras, Stalida and Malia reach us in well under fifteen minutes — close enough for a spontaneous dinner, far enough to leave the resort bustle behind.
Unlike the busy strips in town, here the setting is the meal: tables by the water, the open Aegean a few steps away, and fresh fish chosen the same morning and grilled to order. It is the kind of evening guests plan their holiday around — and the reason so many make the short drive back more than once during their stay.
