The northern Gulf of Mirabello is one of the most picturesque and most tastefully developed coastal areas of Crete. Our accommodation, Elounda Island Villas, is located in the most enchanting location of Mirabello Gulf, one kilometer away from the village of Elounda at the quiet peninsula of Spinalonga. The traveler can get there easily by car or on foot via a causeway and a bridge. During Minoan times, Spinalonga was the site of a lively port called Olous. Nowadays, one can still see traces of the stonework beneath the surface of the clear blue sea. The island is connected to the 'mainland' by an old stone bridge and the villas of "Elounda Island" sit 100m from the bridge, with a small sandy beach (safe for children) right in front and a private tennis court nearby.

Elounda Island Villas and its peaceful location is a perfect destination for families, couples, newly-weds or a small group of friends. It is a small complex of 10 interconnected apartments with verandas, balconies and patios with a direct view to the sea and the surrounding mountains of Elounda Village. They all offer a delightful, welcoming atmosphere for its guests and are ideal for people wanting to relax by the sea and explore eastern Crete, having at the same time a very affordable holiday.

Elounda Island Villas apartments can accommodate up to three or up to five persons. All apartments consist of a comfy living-room, a well equipped kitchen and one or two spacious bathrooms. They are simply but adequately furnished, with plain wooden tables and chairs, stone-flagged or tiled floors and a variety of built-in beds. The layout is open-plan and split level, with the bedroom(s) half a floor higher than the sitting area.

The architectural style is based on the traditional local style that blends harmoniously with the native landscape of olive and carob trees. In the sprawling gardens, flora and fauna bloom all year round, set against the striking blue of the Aegean and an ever-clear sky. You can choose between a small apartment, sleeping 2 persons in 1 double bedroom, a medium apartment which has an additional single bed or a large apartment which sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms, plus an additional bathroom. At the entrance to the villas, directly in a garden with a spectacular view, there is a snack-bar, where one can have breakfast and enjoy a fresh smoothie or a traditional Greek dishes.
