elite tourist resort, the world famous
Elounda Village. Elounda is the most
renowned cosmopolitan location not only in

Aegean Sea, much acclaimed for its
outstanding establishments in a magnificent
natural environment. The combination of the
landscape and the sea is something you will
never forget. On arrival at Elounda you'll

to the picturesque village of Kritsa. Goats
tied in the streets, splats of milk on the
cobblestones, garlic clusters hanging from
the eaves, old men in bloomer pants, woven
vests, and white shirts with balloon sleeves
and women in black with scarves and ready
smiles compose a unique scenery giving a
true insight on the daily life of a truly
Cretan village. Kritsa is a delightful
mixture of sights, sounds, and smells. After
