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.
Beautiful looking hotel that didn’t feel too big, the lovely olive trees and surroundings made it feel authentic and traditional all whilst being a modern 5 star resort. The rooms were thought out well and we were lucky enough to be high up so the view was incredible. The staff were so hospitable and friendly and always smiling, they were very accommodating for anything you required. The shuttle to and from the beach/town runs from 7-23:00, which was amazing to get up the hill after a night out!
Overall, beautiful suites with great hospitality. Unfortunately, we were very unlucky and were placed in a suite next to a family with a young baby which woke us several times throughout the night due to the very thin walls!! Its a shame as very well equipped hotel but not quite the R&R we were looking for! Would highly recommended for families, with children’s sing along in the main bar and lots of activities, but not so great for couples after a quiet break.
Great breakfast.
Great restaurant.
Great views from the rooms, sky bar, sky pool and beach.
I also liked the fact that you could choose to chill at the beach within 1min across the street or at the pool on the rooftop (1min from hotel room). Also love how clean everything was.
Clean rooms.
Nice staff.
Helpful reception, also when renting some vehicle or booking expeditions.
Overall just great!
Excellent location in the centre of Elounda. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the attention to detail is excellent and the room is very peaceful. We had an enormous balcony, which was well furnished and private. Loved the small kitchen area and fridge. The beds were super comfortable and ensured a super nights sleep, aided by the air con. Wifi was good. Owner, family and staff were all lovely.
Our host met us at the port to give us a rundown on the check in and location of the property while we were getting our rental car. The location is just up the hill behind central Elounda and has amazing views of the sea from the rooftop! The full kitchen was nice as we could cook when we wanted to and it was very quiet at night time. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area.
Hotel set in beautiful location overlooking Elounda centre from the shores of Elounda Island. Quiet location but only a 10 min walk to tavernas. Studio was spacious and well equipped, set over three floors with a relaxing balcony with sun beds. Easy access to sea in front of hotel. Ideal place for a couple of nights to take in a trip over to Spiralonga Island.
Amazing breakfast with much variation. I can't thank whoever is the chef enough for the amazing attention to every detail when it comes to the food in the hotel. Staff is amazingly nice, professional and helpful. The room was very clean and was kept that way during the entire stay. The pool is nice. Everything was smooth and relaxing. Highly recommended.
Location, view, calmness, garden, pool, staff, breakfast are the best positive points of the Hotel. It's not near the center of Elounda, so it keeps a nice character, blends in with the surroundings. Very calm, not close to the beach or other facilities that could produce noise. Nice for adults and couples.
I loved everything about this hotel ... the history (it was the first hotel in Elounda), the location (at the port. close to everything), the refurbishment (gorgeous contemporary design), but most of all, the kind-hearted owner (Nectaria, such a lovely, kind-hearted person).
The location is perfect with its private beach. Also you get to see Spinalonga island which is a beautiful, small island and it’s a 5 minute boat ride. The staff is extremely friendly and fast at attending to your needs. Overall the service of the staff is 5 stars!
THE SERVICE! from the second we arrived until the moment we checked out, we were amazed by the incredible hospitality of the staff. besides that, the view of our hotel room was spectacular and the spa facilities were relaxing and fun.
Friendly helpful responsive hosts. Spacious villa - comfortable and clean with stunning views. Lovely beaches and tavernas a very short drive away. Elounda walking distance. Would recommend a car to explore Crete.
The hotel is in front of the sea and very close to restaurants and cafes. The swimming pool is perfect and the bar also. The staff is really helpful and polite. Totally recommended, a value for money hotel
An excellent stay in a very pleasant environment. A real luxury boutique hotel, offering all the conforts needed and more. A unique place for those seeking tranquility, privacy, relax, beautiful nature
