Wow, what a wonderful paradise. The house is magnificent. The detail to making it functional & the style ate beautiful. The Aegean Sea is right there to explore. We rented a car, but ended up just staying local & exploring with our water shoes, climbing the rocks to the Sea. We rented bicycles in Eloumdra for two days, bicyle riding from Plaka to Elonda was great, then bicyleing around Elounda was fantastic, the beaches passed the little bridge. Dinner at the restaurant by the bridge at night is a must. Plaka is a rock stars paradise.
