Approximately one hour of driving through the ever-changing Cretan countryside, will bring you to Elounda, a town located in a gorgeous natural bay. Elounda is famous not only on the island of Crete but also in the entire Aegean region, much acclaimed for its outstanding hotels and tourist establishments in a magnificent natural environment. The combination of the landscape and the sea is something you’ll never forget! Here you’ll have some free time to stroll around before proceeding to Agios Nikolaos, a picturesque and popular resort town on the Bay of Mirabelo. The harbor area pulsates with activity, restaurants and cafes providing a cosmopolitan atmosphere even though the town itself has maintained its traditional style. The landmark of the city is a small lake, known as Voulismeni, which is located in the center of the city and at the foot of the cliffs. According to mythology, the goddess Athena used to take her bath in this lake.
