Elounda is a small village located 10 km north of Agios Nikolaos, near the northwest side of the Mirabello bay.
Here you can admire some of the most beautiful landscapes of Crete. These landscapes are strongly dominated by the small beaches of Elounda.
The most famous beach in the area is located east of Elounda, in the Skisma area. The beach is adjacent to the port and is very well organized and offers various services. The beach is sandy and the water is always calm and transparent thanks to the tranquil lagoon of Korfos. In addition to the classic services (umbrellas, showers, etc.), there are facilities for beach volleyball, a playground and water sports.
If from Elounda you follow the path along the coast after the eastern end of the city, you will reach the second beach of Hiona (also known as Poros). Note that there is another beach called Hiona near Palekastro.
Hiona beach is sandy and well organized with umbrellas, showers, lifeguard and water sports. Next to it passes the road that leads to the Spinalonga peninsula, which borders the old salt pans. This road, after a short spectacular route through the mills, a panoramic bridge with a canal and terraces, stops near the chapel of San Luca. From here begins the short path to the beautiful beach of Kolokitha.
There is so much to discover here, what are you waiting for?
