- "Truly amazing location with wonderful facilities and staff. Gorgeous sea view. Wonderful pool. " - "Loved my bungalow on the sea with private pool. The large hotel swimming pool was also very beautiful. Easy access to the sea via sturdy ladders. Charming secluded nooks with lounge chairs and tables at different levels. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Water shuttle to multiple restaurants on the property. Enjoyed the delicious sushi and more at the exceptional seafront Sumosan Japanese restaurant, where glass floor panels offered a look into the fish and sea below us. Lovely landscaping. Attentive and caring staff. Interesting shops. I did not use the Six Senses Spa, but for those who are spa people, I don’t doubt it is as remarkable as everything else there. Many guests return regularly, and I definitely want to stay again. Highly recommend this very special getaway."

Elounda once a small fishing village is now a growing modern town that still retains a certain charm. An appealing mixture of old and new. It has an attractive harbour surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars. Elounda also has a sandy beach offering water sports and self drive boat hire. Boat trips are available to the famous Island of Spinalonga.
- "One of the best villas we have stayed in. Beautifully presented, furnished and equipped. The location is superb being within 2 minutes, literally, of a selection of good Tavernas. The beach and town square are an easy, level, five minute stroll. The harbour side, with another excellent selection of Tavernas is five minutes in the opposite direction. Local buses and taxi services are good and a trip to Plaka, Spinalonga and Agios Nicholas are a must. Janet, the host, could not have been more welcoming and provided a generous starter pack including wine. The pool was very welcome and cleaned perfectly every three or four days. We shall certainly return and recommend to anyone for a totally relaxing holiday in Elounda which itself remains charming with all necessary amenities without being over commercialised."

Karfi is a detached 3-storey villa set in olive groves just outside the beautiful fishing village of Elounda. With private pool & garden, 2.5 balconies with sea and mountain views, 3 double rooms, 2 bathrooms, and full aircon, it sleeps 6. Less than 10 minutes' walk from the village centre, with its lively bars, shops and restaurants the villa also has a fully-equipped kitchen (including washing machine) and is perfect for self-catering. Many local restaurants also deliver direct to the villa.
Villa Karfi is situated down a private driveway surrounded by olive groves, yet is only a (genuine!) 10-minute walk from the centre of the bustling fishing village of Elounda with its Blue Flag-awarded beach and many bars, restaurants and shops. The 3-storey villa has its own secluded garden with flowers, shrubs, and fruit trees, and its own private pool (6m by 4m, available from April to mid-November) with 6 sun loungers, large parasol, and outdoor shower. The top floor of the villa comprises a light and airy open-plan living and dining area, with a large balcony overlooking the village and sea plus a smaller balcony with spectacular views of Mount Oxa and the surrounding hills. There is a 52-inch flatscreen smart TV in the living area and there is fast dedicated WiFi which supports streaming TV throughout the villa. Books, maps and games are provided. The kitchen area is fully equipped for self-catering with fridge-freezer, oven, hob, microwave, coffee-maker, kettle, toaster and dishwasher plus all necessary crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The middle floor contains 2 double bedrooms, both with king-sized beds, with a large shared balcony giving access to the pool and garden area. It also has a wet-room style shower and WC. The ground floor of the villa contains a further big double room with two single beds (which can be configured as one double if required) with a wet-room style bath, shower and WC, and a separate large utility area with sink and washing machine. All bedrooms have plenty of built-in storage and hanging space. The villa has dedicated parking for up to two vehicles. A travel cot & highchair are available on request.
Our availability
Villa Karfi’s owners live in the next-door villa. We’re available if you need us, but are also happy to leave you in complete solitude throughout your stay! We can provide plenty of recommendations on where to eat and drink and how to make the most of your stay in Elounda.
Elounda and the local area
Elounda and its local area has something to offer for people of all ages and interests, and Villa Karfi’s location means that many of these can be enjoyed without the need to hire a car. Elounda’s sandy Blue Flag beach is award-winning for its cleanliness, and offers inexpensive sunloungers and warm, calm shallow water ideal for swimming. Elounda is near to several important archaeological sites of interest, including the epicentre of Minoan civilisation, Knossos, which is an hour’s drive away, and the sunken city of Olous from which the town takes its name. Centred on a busy square with its church, 2 supermarkets (both of which stay open late), several cafes and bakeries, many bars and restaurants, Elounda also offers a wide variety of shops and holds its own weekly fresh produce market every Friday. One of the most popular attractions in Crete, the island of Spinalonga, is a scenic boat trip away, with boats leaving Elounda harbour every 30 minutes during the holiday season. The town of Agios Nikolaos is a 20-minute drive away - buses leave regularly from the village square. The Elounda ‘fun train’ takes visitors up the coast to Plaka (the village closest to Spinalonga) and then travels up into the surrounding hills for a fascinating tour of traditional Cretan villages. There are extensive walking trails all around the local area, many offering spectacular views of Spinalonga and the Bay of Mirabello. Other nearby attractions which are within an hour’s drive include two major water parks, the aquarium of Crete, and the Lasithi plateau. There are several travel agents in the village which provide reasonably-priced car, quad bike, scooter, mountain bike, boat and kayak hire as well as many tailored excursions, including scuba and snorkelling trips and all-day tours of Knossos.
During the winter months Elounda often experiences mild weather and number of restaurants and bars in the village remain open all year. The village supermarkets also operate year round.
Getting around
The villa is a short walk (9 minutes) from the main village harbour square with its many tavernas, cafes, shops and beach, with no significant gradients to negotiate (unlike many others in the area!) Cars can be parked in the village for free if required, and there is disabled parking provision very close to the major amenities. Heraklion airport is 65km (1 hour) drive on a high-quality modern road, and Heraklion itself, Crete’s largest city, is well worth a visit. Agios Nikolaos is 10km away, with regular buses from the village centre. A large number of small villages, some of which boast some superb tavernas, are all within a short driving radius of Elounda.
The price is fully inclusive of the €10 per night Greek Government tax.
Winter bookings - please note the pool is only operational from April to early November.
- "Had a lovely stay at Villa Karfi. Location exactly as described and so easy to walk into Elounda, which we did pretty much every day. Not too steep a walk and took about 12 mins. Villa had everything needed, beautifully presented and the welcome pack was so much appreciated. Very quiet area but easy access. We have stayed in other villas in Greece before and some of the roads up to them have been much trickier to negotiate. The only mentions I would make is that it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues as the property is over three floors so lots of steps and probably not suitable for families either for the same reason. Thanks again John and Flic and hope to be back again."

- "Nice property. A little hard to find. Overall was clean, good location, and great pool. Was close to many restaurants and shopping. " - "The villa and pool were wonderful, except for the bathroom situation. Plus the info on Hotels.com was not accurate. It advertised two bathrooms, but there was only one inadequate bathroom with a toilet prone to plugging. Daily housekeeping was featured, which turned out to be every three days in reality. We left early after two days of no hot water and toilet being out of commission for a third time and no refund was given. It’s too bad because Elounda is a lovely place and the Villas could be a great resort, but work is needed on the utilities."

- "We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Mirabello. The pictures do not do justice to how spacious, light and airy the villa is - with extensive outside spaces and plenty of areas to relax and take in the breathtaking views. The villa is beautifully set up and the daily cleaning service was a bonus with a friendly and helpful member of staff. We were met bang on time when we arrived and received a welcome gift of some wine and food and fruit which was a lovely touch. The pool is the best we have had - a perfect size and temperature - and easy to stay in there gazing down at Plaka or out to sea. Other reviews have mentioned the lack of crockery and this is still a bit minimal - but more than enough for us. A few more personal touches in the decor and artwork and some notes about the villa and area would be helpful. However, we loved our stay, felt very lucky an will return - thank you."

- "It was very clean and had new furniture . Recommended." - "When we went to check in at the Elounda Olive Gardens, we were met with a notice on the door to ring their sister hotel, Elounda Residence. We were then informed that they had shut the apartments for the winter and we were now staying in the Elounda Residence. Although a better hotel, it was miles from the village and we had deliberately not chosen that hotel because of the location. It was on a very steep hill, with amazing views, but our room was the furthest away from the reception and pool areas, even higher up the hill. We are very sprightly 70 year olds, luckily, as anyone with walking difficulties would have struggled. We were on a self catering basis but most of the hotel was all inclusive, so it was a pain to have to get down to the village for breakfast and again for the evening meal. There was a shuttle service, but the last bus went at 5 pm. Unless you want an all inclusive hotel, this one is not for you!"

- "Great view and wonderful villa with nice private infinity swimmingpool. Great host in Dmitri that met us at midnight when we arrived and had the fridge filled with drinks and food for breakfast next morning. Nice gesture. Some workers doing renovation on the villa next door, was immediately shut down when we called Dmitri and asked for tranquility. Will book again for sure. :-)" - "This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. Not only was the space beautiful clean and convenient but Dimitris is one of a kind. He met us at the property, which he had stocked with eggs, bread, fruit, wine, deli meat, and any other thing you may need and then spent time with us to make sure we knew where everything was in the house but also in the town. It made such a difference to have this introduction to the area. This is a 5star property all the way and you are lucky if you get to experience this little slice of heaven!"

In Upper (Ano) - Elounda, exactly where was filmed the famous TV-Series "The Island" (Spinalonga), based on novel Victoria Hislop, is found the ELOUNDA ART TRADITIONAL VILLAS, little 18th century residential complex, completely restricted, all made from stone and wood, with internal yard, according to security system of the Venetians, when Crete was still a part of the Serenaded Democracy of Venice. There are 4 residences and 1 studio. They are completely independent (one from the other), around the internal yard, with balconies and terraces, viewing to the magical hills and see of Elounda. The modern commodities are not missing. In our apartments anyone can find modern kitchens, satellite TV, air condition and wireless internet. The complex is constructed in front of an enormous rock named Afendis Christos and is very well visible inside. Indeed, the way that apartments are structed, offers the possibility to be autonomous or to have company because of the common court. The apartments are one near to the other and so, they are an ideal place for a company of friends or for families that want to have vacations together, near the sea.
- "We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was spacious and has balconies on on the second and third levels with wonderful views over Elounda and Spirolunga. The only improvement I can suggest is to have a map that clearly shows the location of the flat in village with details on going under the road bridge and where to park a car." - "Experienced past generations life with a modern twist"

A beautiful house located in the traditional village of Epano Elounda.
The space
A beautiful house located in the traditional village of Epano Elounda. Just 1 km from the city centre of Elounda, the village is quite and non touristic, ideal for walks in the traditional cobbled streets where you could also find some old 'kafenions' serving Greek coffee and refreshments.
The house has recently been fully refurbished and has one double bedroom, an open space sitting area and a fully equipped kitchen. The sofa can be turned into a bed which can sleep two persons. Moreover, there is a beautiful private front yard equipped with garden furniture, with a few plants and a large olive tree, where you can enjoy your breakfast or relax in the evening. There are plenty of free parking spaces around the house.
Guest access
Here are some directions in order to get to the house by car. You must drive around 1,5km after leaving Schisma Elountas (the small town on the sea shore). Then, you drive with direction to Epano Elounta (Upper Elounda). When reaching the entrance of the village you must turn right to enter, and then the first street right again. Then you drive downhill around 100m and at the left turn you must stop and park on the dead end alley. You’re there!

Below you will find some information about the most important sights of the village as well as activities that you can experience all year long in our place. All historic information has been derived from the book of Dr. M. Makrakis, Elounda-Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga, Their History, 2011.
SPINALONGA: after the end of the forth Venetian – Ottoman war, Crete remained as the last Venetian colony in the eastern Mediterranean. Inevitably, their interest was focused on this island which had many great problems during that period. The fall of Cyprus was the reason why the castle of Spinalonga was built. The choice of the position of the castle was made due to the fact that the Bay of Elounda was ideal for the landing of the Ottoman armada and because on the islet, the ruins of an ancient fortress already existed the stones of which could be used for the Venetian fortifications. The name of Spinalonga originated from the Venetian words Spina(thorn) and Lunga (long). The lattest book which became a best seller recounting the passions of love, tragedy human pain and the power of the soul on Spinalonga in the years 1940-44, is the “The Island”, by British novelist Victoria Hislop. Since 2000, efforts have been made by the local community and the municipality for the inclusion in UNESCO’s list of World Cultural Heritage Sites.
ALYKES OF ELOUNDA: Lying to the east of the shorefront settlement of Schisma, on the west part of ancient Olous, the salt pans are a monument and witness to local history and to the culture of salt. For seven crucial centuries the salt pans of Elounda played an influential role in the area’s history and the survival of its population. The high salt content of the waters in the Bay of Elounda and the favorable climatic conditions-(long-term sunshine and windy environment), were the reasons the Venetians created the salt pans of Elounda in the 13th century. For almost 7 centuries, the pans produced high quality salt which reached a production of one thousand tons in the 1960s. Salt was a monopolized item and of course more important in every day life than today, as it was the only available means of preserving food stuff. The pans played an important part in the sustenance and survival of the citizens of Elounda in times of peace but even more importantly in times of poverty and unrest. Today they represent a unique ecosystem – a natural hatchery for fish and refuge for different species of migratory birds. Over the last few years an effort has been made by local society and the Municipality for the creation of a salt and whetstone museum in Hiona, a storage-house for the salt.
WINDMILLS: The windmills pre-industrial factories and treasured memories for the locals, are a remarkable invention and a successful example of ecological thinking and the exploitation of the inexhaustible power of the wind for the production of flour, the main ingredient for the most basic of all foods, bread. In areas where there were no springs, like Agios Nikolaos and Elounda numerous windmills existed, remaining in operation until the settlement was deserted in 1690-1715. Windmills were built in groups called “Milotopia” and were usually positioned in areas where moderated winds blew constantly. In Elounda, the Milotopia were by the Canal Poros, in Pines area and to the east of lower Pines.
THE EARLY CHRISTIAN BASILICA IN POROS: is one of the archaeological site of Ancient Olous, about one hundred meters east of the Canal. During the excavations for the opening of the Canal (1897-98)the French army carried out experimental digs in the area, during which a part of the Basilica with a mosaic was uncovered. The fact that inscriptions of the Ancient Olous treaty were utilized indicates that the area where the Basilica was built, once housed the administrative centre of Olous, or was the place where the temple of Vritomartis or Zeus Tallaios stood and the first Christians used the materials and stoned they had at hand. In the later years, during the 16th century, the building material from the Basilica and from ancient Olous was used to build Spinalonga fortress.
THE CANAL: During the last Cretan revolution (1897-98), the enforcement of law and the cessation of hostilities in the Mirambello and Siteia area was assumed by the Fremch army, a regiment of which had installed themselves on Spinalonga under the leadership of captain Emile- Amedee Dupourque, whilst the French fleet under the Admiral Edouard Pottier dropped anchor in a small cove to the east of Poros and patrolled Mirambello Bay and the sea off Siteia. The French army then decided to dig through the small portion of land connecting the peninsula with Elounda side, effectively turning it into an island. The main instigator of this plan was Dupourque who met with Michalis Sfakianakis in Neapoli and explained the importance of the building of the canal for transportation purposes, as a consequence the work began on February 27, 1897 and was completed the in the spring of the following year. The construction of the 170m long and 8 m wide canal meant that Elounda Bay was now joined to Mirambello Bay and that the sea route to Agios Nikolaos became 4 nautical miles shorter. Until 1955 when the road to Agios Nikolaos was opened this was the only way of communication. A small wooden bridge was then built to facilitate the Eloundians passage to their land on the other side. In 1935, a drawbridge was built by a carpenter from Neapoli. The frequent damage to the bridge by the rough seas and the need for the passage of cars to the other side was the reason that the Commune decided in 1962 to construct the reinforced cement one which still exists today about 40m north of the wooden one.
THE SUNKEN ANCIENT OLOUS: As the numerous archaeological digs have proved , Elounda was inhabited from Minoan times. Olous a township built on Poros the isthmus whick connects the Cretan mainland with the peninsula across the Bay was one of the one hundred significant cities in ancient Crete. It flourished during ancient times as the excavation of the Apotheantes proves it thrived during the classical Hellenistic and roman eras. Today a large part of ancient Olous is submerged , various parts of the sunken city can be seen when the sea is calm: just outside the church of Analipsi at Oxo Poro;to the west pf the canal, at Kouloura, Tsibaki and Bathi. The inhabitants of Olous were culturally and professionaly developed and were occupied with maritime trade and the processing of murex shells, from which they extracted color and dyes such as the Tyrian or Royal Purple. They also mind, manufactured and traded whetstones. Archaeological finds from this site can be seen in the museums of Agios Nikolaos, Heraklion and the Louvre as well as in the archaeological collection in Neapoli.

WINTER ACTIVITIES: Many people think that the island is only for summer holidays, although even in winter Crete is a perfect destination. During November till late March the climate offers mild winters with many sunny days with pleasant temperatures. Locals are "more active" than summer, since there is a range of other works for them to deal with such as the olive groves, fruit gardens, etc. Sheep graze the fresh green from the mountains. When coming to meet Cretan companionship there's no better season than winter, touring around by car, or hiking on country side, biking, bird watching or just strolling through cities will offer you surely a relaxed time. Specifically in December and January, you can join the olive harvesting and follow the entire oil production from harvest to olive oil or during February you take part in fruits’ and wild herbs’ collection. We can inform you and arrange local activities depending on the period!
SPRING ACTIVITIES: Spring time is a perfect season for walking or hiking and during your walk you will discover unique botanic beauties and smells. If you decide to come this season you will encounter one very attractive face of Crete, that will offer you a carpet of flowers, high mountains capped with snow and villages in their everyday routine.
EASTER HOLIDAYS: Easter is possibly the best experience you can have on Crete! Normally it is in mid spring season when all the Nature flourishes again, flowers’ and herbs’ smells are all around and all the nearby villages have their own way to celebrate this big Greek Chistian festivity.
