Serviced Apartments in Eloúnda

Elounda is a fishing village on the island of Crete and one thing you won’t have to worry about when staying here is the weather. Crete is only just over one hundred miles from Africa and is the most southerly part of Europe, so any stay in an Eloúnda holiday let is pretty much a guarantee of sun. If this holiday in a serviced apartment in Eloúnda is your first time in Greece, you will probably be amazed at the clarity of the water and this, as well as the peace and quiet, makes this village a magical place to stay.

Like most Greek settlement, Eloúnda has been occupied for many centuries and in fact the sunken city of Olous, from which the name derives, can be seen just off the coast. Glass bottomed boats can take you out to see the remains, which are an important archaeological site. Another site in the area is the island of Spinalonga, once a Venetian fortress and used until relatively recent times as a leper colony. Staying in an Eloúnda short stay apartment means that you are in the midst of a lot of history, from ancient times until the turn of the last century and there are guided tours to explain it all. An apartment rental in Eloúnda is a great way to introduce children to the history and myths of Greece.

If you are interested in vintage TV, you might be interested to know that near your Eloúnda serviced flat or self-catered apartment is where two programmes from the Seventies, Who Pays the Ferryman and The Lotus Eaters were filmed. If you remember these series or have watched them recently on DVD, you will easily recognise areas of Eloúnda near your aparthotel as the village is very much the star.

Beaches are the big feature of Eloúnda though and your holiday rental will give you a huge choice, nine of which have the blue flag. The ‘municipal’ beach near the harbour has loads of restaurants and bars to choose from, as well as water sports. When staying in a holiday apartment in Eloúnda, you will find the pace of life soon takes you over and you will wander slowly along golden beaches, with the views of other small islands and the sparkling sea to relax you. Crete has a magic of its own and it is no surprise that it has a huge ex-pat community, from all over Europe. Just remember to go home after your holiday!
