 Porto Elounda Village
The four and one half star rated Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort is built on the seafront with a 150 meter long private sandy beach. The view from the Main Building, the Villas and Bungalows over Mirabello Bay and the distant mountains is magnificent. The rooms and suites have all been recently renovated and provide excellent accommodation with large balconies or terraces. The public areas are decorated with antique and contemporary furniture. Porto Elounda is the only Greek resort that includes an Executive nine hole Golf Course and a Golf Academy. The Resort has been awarded the European Blue Flag for the past six consecutive years in recognition of the continuous efforts of maintaining the environment in pristine condition, for efficient water management, wastewater treatment and for the participation in the raising of environmental awareness among the staff and local school children.
Breakfast buffet and table d’hôte dinner are served in ‘Nafsika’ restaurant, offering wonderful sea views. During summer, Mediterranean and Cretan à la carte dining is available in the olive grove of ‘Elies’ Restaurant, Lunch is served a la carte at ‘Odysseus’ tavern, right at the water’s edge, with a selection of fresh seafood and Greek dishes. Behind the beach with its freshwater swimming pool and Bar lies the exquisite Playiada, inspired by a Greek village square and protected by a robust wooden pergola, it forms the center of attention for the evening's festivities. The evenings are festive at the marvellous Playiada, the covered square around the Chapel of Prophet Elias with its fine-dining restaurant. Traditional cooking really comes into its own, benefiting from the abundance of fresh olive oil, basil, rosemary and parsley. The Restaurant at Playiada offers Buffet Breakfast and a la Carte dining in this marvellous environment. The Kirki Bar, offering delightful views across the bay, is the perfect place for aperitifs and cocktails, accompanied by piano music in the evening, whereas at the Beach Bar drinks and snacks are served throughout the day. Down by the beach is the Beach Bar for snacks and refreshments between dips in the shade of a robust wooden umbrella entirely out of chestnut logs

Staying at Porto Elounda is a delight of traditional Cretan architecture and interior design. The typical whitewashed surfaces bind harmoniously with the brown and gray rock walls, the local carob and olive trees. The decoration is exclusively antique pieces of folk-art: carpets, chests, tapestries, mantelpieces with fine Cretan marble throughout the Halls and Salons.
Some Rooms have direct access from their balconies to the large oblong pools. Right on the seafront are Bungalows with direct access to the sandy beach or platforms on the rocks and there even is a Grande Suite with its own private beach, outdoor pool and garden, indoor pool and more.
