We loved our stay at Elounda Canali Apartments and were made to feel incredibly welcome on arrival by Nikos & Ionna, who were waiting for our taxi to arrive after midnight. We knew the apartment would be perfect for us, judging by reviews and pictures, and it certainly didn't disappoint. If anything, it exceeded our expectations. Nikos & Ionna even left us some complimentary items to get us started. What a perfect start.
We found out the following morning just how beautiful our surroundings were, drinking coffee/tea on the balcony. Glorious sunshine and a wonderful view of the water.
The location was perfect for us - at the end of Elounda near the Sunken City of Olous - it was quieter but still within a 10/15 minute stroll of the 'hustle and bustle' of Elounda's main square. This was our first time in Elounda, in the middle of September, and found the area to be the perfect balance of activity, without being too busy.
Elounda had everything we could ask for in a holiday of this kind. Sun, sea, an abundance of restaurants with great food and drink, places to visit and things to do. There's a busier sandy beach if that's your thing or multiple, quieter pebble beaches dotted around.
But all of this was made all the more enjoyable in the knowledge we had our own peaceful retreat in the shape our Elounda Canali Apartment, a stone's throw away.
