First impressions are always important. The dramatic sea views that stretch far across the Mirabello Bay all the way to Spinalonga Island certainly captivate the most tired traveller as they arrive at the Elounda Village. Here, in one of the most exclusive European resort areas, colourful Cretan gardens cascade past the white-washed bungalow rooms down to the sandy beach below. The serenity and warm Cretan hospitality are the ideal antidote to everyday stress.

There’s plenty of choice if you want an active holiday - from morning aerobics to evening folklore shows.

Whether you want to dine early or late, formally or informally, snacks or banquets - the Elounda Village has a great reputation for excellent food. The stunning Mirabello Yacht Restaurant gives on the impression of floating over the blue horizon.
