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.
What to say that's not been said already. What a stunning gem. My sisters and I had a totally fabulous and relaxing stay at Tsifliki Beach House. The views from the terrace are breathtaking especially at dawn and sunset. Easy walk into Elounda and Plaka for beautiful shops and restuarants. The private beach is so peaceful and the family are so welcoming and helpful. You will not be disappointed and we will definitely return.
Small boutique Hotel. The location is directly inbetween Plaka and Elounda, right on the seafront so you could take a fairly long but nice walk to either. There were only about 10-15 rooms which meant breakfast was a very pleasant affair with plenty of choice.
The view from the room was exceptional and the hot tub on the terrace superb.
Every member of staff could not do enough to ensure your stay was a good one.
The best place to calm & enjoy the wonderful view of Elounda. All the suites have a private pool big enough for 4 people, sunbeds & tables.
Maria, the hotel owner, is very kind & always available to help you with any request!
If you need coffee/snack or even lunch local stores offer a delivery service! Every morning I ordered coffee & breakfast in my room within 15mins! (Ask Maria for details)
It's not a Leading Hotel of the World for no reason! We felt looked after & taken care of during our stay. We will be back. The beds are out of this World too: full adjustable & incredibly comfy (Room 131). We loved the extensive breakfast options, sunken bath, walk in shower & private balcony overlooking the sea too. Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to service either.
I visited 3 years ago and the hotel has changed a lot after a major renovation.
Elounda has many beautiful hotels but the main reason we always book the Elounda Peninsula is for the location of its suites. Where ever you are located you have totally privacy but within 2 minutes you have easy access to all facilities.
Definitely recommended.
Great location with beautiful views of Elounda Bay. The hotel was is 15min walk into the main town and 30mibs from Plaka, another lovely Greek town.
The hotel has a great option of pool and beach and if you're lucky you also get your own semi private pool too and a balcony with your room.
The staff are super friendly and very helpful.
Relaxing,clean and well maintained 4* hotel offering magnificent views of Elounda.
Pool was a nice surprise!!
Few minutes drive far from anything you might need ,but far enough to keep the nights quiet and relaxing!!
Staff was amazing, very welcoming and helpful!!
Special thanks to the bar staff, keep up the good work !!!
Beautiful hotel overall. Room was huge with a really nice bathroom and balcony with sea view. The beach was really nice despite being pebbles - they have cleverly put decking down to make it easy to access and you can get into the water via the pontoon so we were really happy (lovely to not have sand getting everywhere!)
The breakfast was good and rich, sushi nights are the best with lots of fresh fish.
The bar is well equipped and the bartenders are skilled, making us perfect cocktails all day long :)
The staff is amazing, Menolius, Yanis, Andreas, and all the rest.
High-quality hotel, with great facilities. Can't wait to be back!
Very well situated with beautiful view of the sea and surrounding Elounda, we had available everything we needed and even forgot to bring ourselves. Rira our host was extremely kind offering us a lift to the property from nearby Elounda amongst other things. Fantastic place to stay when visiting Crete!
beautiful clean updated pools beach. they upgraded us to a luxury villa. we had a sort of family reunion it was great both for the kids and adults. I would definitely go back. the setting is gorgeous. staff is great. facilities are top notch
The hotel really knows what Greek philoxenia (hospitality) means! Facilities were very good but most importantly the people working there were not only professional but also genuine and welcoming!
Bravo! 👏
Fantastic location, we were at top of hotel & chooose to use the 164 steps every time to counteract the amount of great food & drink consumed during the week! Staff were brilliant 🤩
The hotel is in a beautiful position, the views across the bay are stunning. The hotel staff were very helpful and welcoming, and our family had a very peaceful and relaxing stay.
