Fabulous location. Incredibly conscientious staff. Great food. Best of all was refreshing dips in the en suite private, saltwater pool

Kenneth United States of America

Elounda Mare is located in a jewel piece of the island. The facility is one of the most family-friendly vacations spots you will ever find. Breakfast was excellent (even the espresso is very good, a rarity in tourist destinations). A big kudos & "Efcharisto!" to the front desk staff and everyone working there. Highly recommended.
