Sunshine Studios & Apartments, Hersonissos

Sunshine Studios & Apartments is a small, smoke-free stay in Stalida, part of the Hersonissos area on Crete, Greece, located on Agiou Ioanni. With a guest rating of 9.6/10 from 11 reviews, it’s the kind of property that tends to suit travellers who want a quiet base while still being close to the action along the coast. The outdoor pool area is a simple highlight, and the pool sun loungers make it easy to linger between beach trips. For mornings, breakfast is available for a surcharge, and there’s also a snack bar/deli for lighter bites when you don’t want to plan a full meal.

Guests mention that the location works well for day-to-day exploring, especially if you’re heading to Stalida Beach (about 1 km) or want to spend time at Star Beach Water Park (around 2 km). If you’re looking beyond the immediate strip, Hersonissos Old Town is roughly 7 km away, and Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre is about 8 km from the property. The hotel’s proximity to hiking and biking trails nearby is another practical benefit for active travellers who prefer moving at their own pace.

The front desk has limited hours, so it’s wise to plan arrivals accordingly, and the tours/ticket assistance can help you organise outings without spending time hunting for options. Free self parking is a plus for those with a rental car. Overall, Sunshine Studios & Apartments is best for couples, solo explorers, and small families who value calm surroundings, easy self-guided days, and straightforward comfort over a busy resort feel.
