Elounda lies on the east coast of Crete and is famous for its spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches.

Once a quiet fishing spot, the pretty harbour is still home to colourful fishing boats, giving the village a charming look. Activity can be found at the harbour’s square, where the many bars and tavernas are perfect for a relaxing meal or drink. The island of Spinalonga, with its 16th century fortress, sits in front of the resort and can be reached by boat.

The beach has a wide variety of watersports and is very popular for both swimming and snorkelling. It also boasts hidden coves and swimmers can explore the underwater ancient city of Olous. Holidays in Elounda also offer plenty away from the beach, like hikes to the quaint surrounding villages that give a glimpse into the Cretan way of life.

Aside from friendly restaurants and tavernas, Elounda has relaxed bars and clubs for entertainment after the sun goes down. The town also has many shops and stalls selling all types of traditional Greek goods.

With a beautiful beach, stunning scenery and plenty of activities, Elounda has loads to offer the Greek island holidaymaker.
