We loved our week at Villa Karfi! The villa is super clean and really well stocked in terms of kitchen utensils, so we could cook a few meals in as well as going out. It's in a perfect location for walking into Elounda centre and only a short distance from Plaka and Spinalonga with boats setting off every 30mins from Elounda town centre. We went to a lot of John and Flic's recommendations for food and drinks with 'The Hope, Elounda' being a highlight (make sure you call and book in advance though). John and Flic are great hosts and made sure we were well stocked with water and sent us home with some of their home made olive oil. I would definitely recommend booking Villa Karfi as a place to chill out/enjoy the pool and as a base to explore Elounda and the surrounding areas.
