Hotels in Elounda

Great location for beach and restaurants. Enough small little gift shops and mini super markets to cater for your needs. Great little market on a Friday where you can buy great fresh produce and very cheaply

Elounda is a very attractive scenic place with a beautiful bay and plenty of places to visit. The many boats, large and small, give the waterfront a wonderful atmosphere, and everything is fairly close together in the centre so you don't have to walk or drive very far for shops, cafes, restaurants etc.

We stayed for a week between Elounda and Plaka and spent time in both. We found many lovely restaurants and gift shops, and found all the people we met extremely friendly. We particularly liked the Carab Tree in Plaka. It is a truly stunning area. The peninsula with Spinalonga at its tip, provides wonderful views and sheltered water which was calm, clear blue and pretty warm for us. There were various lovely little beaches and a children's playground which was handy too. Easy access for trips to Agios Nikolos too. We (inc. 6yo & 8 yo children) enjoyed our trip to Spinalonga - both the boat trip and wandering around the ruins. I should think it must get very hot in the peak of the summer but we went in late October which was perfect for our fair skinned family! We left on 4th November and the place was all shutting down around us (we gather the season ends on 1st November) so probably best to avoid later in November but all of October is ideal!

Elounda and the surrounding area was beautiful. We loved our trip to the village of Plaka and the boat trip to Spinalonga. True and authentic Greece. Would definitely recommend an outstanding sea food dinner at Kanali

Elounda Heights is what it is described as, High! So, great views....but downside is 1st gear gradient of rough road from village. That's steep! Good for fitness if your knees are obliging! Nice sized pool, but colder than sea. I liked the pool as it was deep and approx 15 metres long. Comfortable bed. If you want to self cater, as we did, it's a bit disappointing as only 1 good sized ring and a coffee pot sized one. No grill. Only 2 glasses and 1 mug per person. Cooking facilities inadequate for self catering. On site restaurant is good, but fairly limited menu. Portions on small size (or good for moderate appetites!). We asked for extra chips . Plenty of meat, just small portions of veg. Don't order prawn cocktail, it's a lettuce cocktail with prawn garnish! I tried twice and it was same both time. At 8 Euros it was disappointing . But food is good quality , but for more variety there are plenty of tavernas in the village. Staff are friendly and helpful. Apartments nicely appointed and cleanliness excellent. Pool towels provided. Pool bar food good. I'd recommend Elounda Heights to anyone, just don't expect to self cater more than pasta!

Elounda is known very fondly by many travelers and locals alike as paradise! Well what more can I say? Paradise it is and the perfect place to relax in the sun. The Cypriana Restaurant was the ideal place for breakfasts or dinners, and their Greek night is second to none . Dimitris Steak House is the best in Greece Praktoreìo is the best Chicken I've tasted in year's Mario's Bar is a great little bar with great music Rudi's Music Bar is like the hub of the expat and local community, and sarah and Paul were also very helpful with people trying to get home after the collapse of Thomas Cook Boat Trip Elounda do fantastic boat trips at reasonable prices The Happy Train up into the mountains and villages is well worth a trip
