Tucked away on its eastern shore, in possibly the island's most prized location, is Elounda Gulf Villas & Suites cradled by the cliff overlooking the Gulf of Mirabello. This luxury villa-hotel of 10 suites and 14 villas offers you a choice between the elegant, well-equipped kitchens or the 5-star services as the whim takes you.

In addition to the main pool, Villa residents have the added pleasure of their own individual private pool. There is a real passion here that can only come from private ownership. It shows in the grand design and right down to the most meticulous detail. Even in the humblest suite, the amenities exceed expectations. For privacy, space and chic with an Olympian view, this is a sybarite's paradise. Even the restaurant can justly claim to be one of the best on the island. A summer palace fit for the Gods.

Crete, rich in history and mythology, is one of the most beautiful Greek islands.
