Elounda Gulf Villas

Agios Nikolaos simply wouldn’t be the same without Lake Voulismeni, affectionately called “the Lake” by locals and is shown in the photo above. This picturesque landmark is surrounded by cafes and restaurants, with a lush park at its edge, wonderful for a refreshing afternoon stroll.

Crete is well known for its villages, which draw in visitors with their feel of authenticity; one such destination is Kritsa (shown here), a mountainside haven with narrow alleyways that beg to be explored, filled with quaint souvenir shops and friendly residents.

Brimming with character, Fourni is a group of three villages that offer stunning examples of Venetian architecture and a collection awe-inspiring chapels and monasteries which date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, at a 12 km distance from Elounda.
