    Elounda is a compact small town on a beautiful sheltered bay. Easy to walk around to visit shops and the many restaurants, tavernas and cafes. In high season it's very much a resort but it's also really nice to visit it out of season, when it's just a working town. There are expensive resorts and hotels outside the main town and it's obvious that there is sufficient income for the local authorities to keep the roads, pavements, infrastructure, etc., well maintained, unlike some other places on Crete.

    Would be a charming town if not sooo many tourists who are being brough to Elounda with big busses to do boat tours. Above has impact on prices and daily routine in the town, leaving little space for Cretean live-style.

    Elounda is a great place - very pretty, everything you need is within walking distance - you dont really need a car. Beaches are close by, or you can walk further out to them. Bars and restaurants all around - some cheap and cheerful, some traditional some finer dining - but all are excellent. You can get boats from the harbour/port to various places. Lots of places to visit - Spinalonga, Ag Nik, Heraklion, museums etc Also if you like walking - there are a lot of options around the peninsula and along to Plaka. It isnt cheap but isn't expensive. There are A LOT of English people who go to Elounda (regularly) - but its not full of sports bars or English breakfast places! A really good place for a first timer to Crete or Greece. Everybody is friendly and its a very chilled out place.

    Elunda is a little fishing village that has grown with the tourist industry, loads of taverna's and restaurants easily keep you going for two weeks, some nice bars as well. We go in May or September, September is still up to 30 deg and the sea is lovely and warm, it is a lot quieter and relaxing with older people being the main tourists. The town has two good beaches, It overlooks a bay that is guarded by Spinalonga Island formerly a leaper colony and before that a Venetian fort, worth a visit by boat from the harbour. Along the coast a couple of miles in a Taxi is Placa a charming place to have a meal or a drink in the evening, has some very good restaurants with a beautiful view of Spinalonga. The other side of Elunda is a large town of Agios Nikolaos Lots of shops and things to see even more restaurants. We hired a car for a few days and went out and about there are a few interesting arclogiclde sites within an hours radius, Kritsais a very old village inland up in the hills, it is worth a visit with lots of craft shops and taverna's and nice views, We have been to Elunda 4 times and will go back next year hopefully.

    The holiday homes are cultured, there are no vendors on the beach, or loud music. There are a lot of rocks in the sea and the fishes are biting :D, so it's worth wearing water shoes. It's a calm and clean city, the locals are nice, the food and drinks are amazing, they give you big portions. There is a lot of wind in Elounda, but Plaka is really windy. There is some nightlife in the bars, but nothing rough. The vacation here is relaxing and pleasant.

    Elounda is outstanding.A number of restaurants are on jetties streching out into Elounda bay. The Blue Sea Cretan Cuisine and seafood restaurant located in front of my hotel was fabulous! Exceptional food and service at great prices. Elounda and Spinalonga is full of lovely local shops selling beautiful items, many hand made. The local people I found to be warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of available sunbeds on the sea front. I felt no need to go anywhere else as I was staying for 1 week, although there were boat trips on offer along the sea front. I did get the bus to Agios Nikolaus for 1euro 80 each way around 20 minutes from Elounda.

    The pictures don't do this place justice. From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave, you are treated like royalty. The view from this place is breathtaking. It overlooks the city center of Elounda. The breakfast is tasty and generous. The staff are extremely nice, polite and helpful. The location is perfect, even though it's located on a small hill, it's only 5 minutes away from the city center where all of the restaurants are located. I highly recommend this place is you're looking for a quiet place to stay.

    The hosts, the newly-refurbished rooms, the VERY comfortable bed and pillows, powerful shower, good air-con, the welcome Prosecco and fruit, bottles of water provided each day - all of it was spot on. Our balcony overlooked the hustle and bustle of the harbour and was great to watch the world go by, and was literally seconds to get to restaurants, bars, the beach and the boats to Spinalonga. Everything about this little hotel is perfect, and should we return to Elounda we would not look to stay anywhere else.

    Beautiful location overlooking the sea with hills and mountains in the background. Short drive to both Elounda and Plaka, in fact it takes 30 minutes to walk to both. Really ‘cool’ hotel with elegant public rooms, restaurants, beach and swimming pool. Buggies that would drive you around the complex (necessary). The staff were excellent, friendly and flexible. Samurai restaurant served amazing sushi and we drank one of the best red wines we’ve ever had.

    Amazing view from the suites. very good breakfast. great service and staff. clean, good atmosphere in resort surroundings. Elounda area is nice and cozy. we had a rare problem of some noise coming from some equipment in the room. the staff did every effort to fix it and also to solve the situation for us immediately, including to offer us a change to another suite (so we will not wait till it’s fixed) and solved the situation with care and kindness.

Liked the stylish decor. Haute living a great plus. Views from hotel on Spinalonga are magical. Visit of the island very interesting. Very friendly and extremely accommodating staff.

    The stay was a real pleasure! The service was very caring, we traveled with a one-year-old child, they always cared about where to seat us, they arranged a high chair for us, made us feel cared for. Very nice facility, nice swimming pool, lots of sunbathing space. Tasty breakfasts. The town of Elounda starts in 5-7 minutes on foot, or you can conveniently travel by bus directly outside the hotel. I recommend!

    This is lovely hotel with delightful caring staff. Nice to be able to cook simple meals. Shower good. Plenty of space for storage. Great position for everything that the beautiful town of Elounda has to offer. Great pool, bar area and the ability to leave bags for a late departure yet have a shower and change after a day out is great!

    Brilliant view over Elounda Bay. Only a few minutes' walk down to the main road and then a pleasant stroll into town. Kitchen very well equipped/brand new. Very friendly hosts who also own Palio Kantouni taverna next door, which has great food, as does Anemomilos taverna behind beach.

    The location was perfect as we could take a short walk into town but we were in a peaceful and beautiful place. Kavos Bay is like a little paradise in Elounda! I can’t imagine a better place to stay. The staff are highly skilled and very kind and welcoming.

    Location and view were excellent. elounda and Agios Nikolaus were super close by. The size of the villa was great too- we hardly used all of it. Michaelis was a lovely person who gave us many good recommendations for the area—just not a good house manager.

    Elounda Peninsula is a wonderful hotel in a majestic place. The staff members are ultra polite and ready to help, the quality and comfort of the accommodation paramount. It's not an affordable hotel by anyeans but it is certainly worth the price.
