!--carousel(2125)--!

Elounda, located in east Crete, 10 km north of Agios Nikolaos and 65 km from Heraklion is a renowned tourism resort, famous for its beautiful scenery and luxury hotels. The once picturesque fishing village in Mirabello Bay faces the dramatic Spinalonga Peninsula.

Having a protected coastline, shaded beaches, crystal clear seas, and a stylish environment, Elounda is ideal for people who want a seaside holiday in a place which is neither too busy nor too isolated.

Family-friendly hotels and tavernas, romantic venues ideal for couples, ample shops for leisurely browsing, and a good range of bars and eateries make Elounda a great all-rounder. Elounda’s main square is the hub of resort life, looking out onto the stylish harbour, edged with lively bars and cafés which becomes a hive of activity after dark. Just beyond the square theres a sandy beach thats purpose built for sunbathing, and along the rocky shoreline are several pebble coves – perfect for crystal clear snorkelling. There are watersports centres offered at several hotels and everything is surrounded by stunning scenery.

Also famous is the small island of Spinalonga in the entrance of Elounda harbour. A Venetian fortress built in 1579 now uninhabited was once used as a leper colony. There is a boat connection to Spinalonga about every half an hour. Elounda is the perfect recipe for the perfect holiday.

"My family and I had the immense pleasure to be the first guests at this beautiful brand-new duplex home at the border of the Cretan Sea. We were received by the owner, a fantastic human being, with Local delicacies, wine, and olive oil made by his father and family. At the sea, we felt in a live aquarium, an amazing spot to snorkel and be in nature. We highly recommend this unforgettable stay to rest and enjoy the Aegean Sea at its best."

"The only word to describe our stay is amazing. The villa is extremely beautiful and clean and it’s composed by two apartments, with a great outdoor space. The swimming pool is very big and the water temperature is perfect. The hidden gem of the house is the direct access to the sea, which is incredible. Finally, the host is an amazing person. Him and his family made us find everything in the house when we arrived. I definitely recommend everyone to stay here as the house alone is worth the travel."
