Elounda Village was once a fishing village in Mirabello Bay on Crete’s north eastern coast. Now it boasts being one of the most popular resorts on the island for tourists who want a seaside holiday in a resort that is not too busy and not too isolated. Elounda has a spectacular coastline, shaded beaches, crystal clear waters and sites of archaeological interest.

Visit the island of Spinalonga, once a leper colony, with it’s Venetian fortress, or the sunken city of Olous which lies off the Spinalonga peninsula. On a day when the waters are calm, you can see the rubble of long-lost streets and alleyways just by standing at the water’s edge. This underwater metropolis is perfect for snorkelers and divers.
