Elounda

The must-see attractions include the island of Spinalonga, a former leper colony with a rich history, the Venetian fortress, and the charming harbor. Additionally, explore the luxury resorts, enjoy the beaches, and take boat trips to nearby islands.

You can enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and water sports like windsurfing and jet skiing. Boat trips to Spinalonga and other islands are popular, as are exploring the local shops and dining at the many restaurants and tavernas.

The best time to visit Elounda is during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) when the weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller, and prices are generally lower. July and August are the peak months, offering the warmest weather but also the highest prices and largest crowds.
