15 days in Elounda Itinerary

Long a sleepy fishing settlement on Crete's northern coastline, Elounda today serves as a major travel destination, drawing vacationers with a blend of unspoiled natural scenery and luxury resorts.

Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Elounda: Sitia (Moni Toplou, Erimoupolis Beach, &more), Chrissi Island (in Ierapetra) and Spiaggia Xerokampos (in Xerocambos). And it doesn't end there: head off the coast to Fortress Spinalonga, relax in the rural setting at Cretan Olive Oil Farm, enjoy the sand and surf at Elounda Beach, and explore the ancient world of Malia Minoan Palace.
