Elounda: A Cretan Retreat by the Water's Edge

Elounda, nestled on the north coast of Crete, is a sought-after destination known for its serene bay and refined atmosphere. It sits opposite the historic island of Spinalonga, which remains a significant landmark, drawing visitors keen to explore its Venetian fortress and former leper colony. The area's calm, clear waters make it a favoured spot for boat trips and waterside relaxation, with a focus on tranquil experiences rather than bustling activity.

The village itself offers a selection of quality eateries and shops, catering to those seeking a relaxed pace. Its proximity to Agios Nikolaos provides a slightly larger town experience should one desire, but Elounda primarily appeals to individuals looking for a quiet retreat. The surrounding landscape, dotted with olive groves, contributes to its peaceful character, creating an ideal setting for unwinding by the sea.

Where to book your hotel in Elounda

Elounda’s main resort area, centred around the harbour, is generally the most popular choice for accommodation, offering convenience and a lively atmosphere.

The Elounda Village area, stretching along the waterfront, provides a mix of hotels, from smaller family-run establishments to mid-range options. Here, you'll find easy access to the village square, where local tavernas like The Ferryman serve traditional Cretan dishes. The small, sandy town beach is also within easy reach, as is the departure point for boats to Spinalonga Island, a significant historical site. The village also hosts a few quaint shops and local bakeries.

Further out, along the coastal road towards Plaka, there are several high-end resorts. These properties often boast private beaches, extensive facilities, and a more secluded experience. While quieter, they are typically a short drive or taxi ride from the main village amenities. The nearby village of Plaka itself, a short distance north, offers a more understated atmosphere with several excellent fish tavernas right on the water, providing superb views across to Spinalonga.

For those seeking absolute privacy and luxury, a few exclusive villas and smaller boutique hotels are tucked away in the hills surrounding Elounda, offering panoramic views. These often require a car for convenient access to amenities and attractions.

When considering a hotel in Elounda, transport links are straightforward. Heraklion International Airport (Nikos Kazantzakis) is the closest major airport, approximately an hour's drive away. While some hotels offer private transfers, regular bus services connect Heraklion with Elounda, often via Agios Nikolaos, making it feasible to reach your chosen accommodation without a rental car, particularly if staying in the main village.

Find the best hotel deals in Elounda

To secure better value on accommodation in Elounda, consider planning your visit outside the busiest period. Hotel rates tend to be higher during July and August, which are Elounda's peak months, and also busy throughout June and September. If your schedule permits, aim for the shoulder seasons or the earlier part of the year.

Significantly lower prices can often be found from April to May and again in October. These months offer pleasant weather and a quieter atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the area without the summer crowds. Additionally, booking well in advance, particularly for stays in the high season, or conversely, looking for last-minute deals just before the low season begins, can sometimes yield savings. Consider properties slightly further from the main harbour area or those that don't directly face Spinalonga for potentially more modest rates.
