First of all, a massive thanks to Carmen! One of the best hosts we’ve had on AirBnB and elsewhere!
The ‘Bolthole’ property is fantastic. At the top of a hill in an old village overlooking Elounda. The views from the balcony are really stunning. A lovely place for breakfast, working and dinner! It really feels like a home from home as Carmen has ensured you have everything you need. My girlfriend and I stayed for a week, working during week days (we both have online jobs where internet is essential) and we felt so comfortable. The kitchen in particular really has everything, unlike some places that say they do...
Elounda itself is lovely and people are so friendly. The small working harbour is the heart of the town, then there are lovely restaurants both in town and along the sea front. The town has everything you’ll need... butchers, grocers, supermarkets etc
Lots of beaches nearby and we hired a car to explore more of Crete.
Crete was never on my list of Greek Islands because of how big it is, I’ve always liked smaller island vibes. But I’ve changed my mind and had such a lovely time. The Bolthole really helped with that! Thanks again Carmen!
