“Opened in 1971, the Elounda Beach still sets the benchmark for luxury on Crete, staying ahead of the (increasingly intense) competition with frills such as two private beaches, private decks over the sea, screening room for the latest movies and gourmet and casual restaurants serving Cretan, Italian, sushi and Polynesian cuisine. It’s a big sister to the nearby Elounda Bay Palace and guests at either hotel can use the facilities of both.”
