Elounda is renowned for its gorgeous and pristine landscape. Visitors who seek a serene and peaceful seaside vacation would be delighted to find all this in Elounda. Moreover, Elounda is in a convenient location thus not completely isolated. The town lies on the edge of the scenic lake of Korfos Bay and overlooks the Spinalonga peninsula. Spinalonga is infamous for being the last operating leper settlement on the European continent. Initially, Spinalonga was attached to mainland Crete but during Venetian occupation was converted into an island and fortified for defence purposes.

The fortress is defended by 40 cannons that date back to the 15th century. The island was originally converted into a leper colony back in the 19th century and hosted its last residents in 1957. To this day the island remains uninhabited and is considered a place of great historical interest. It is also one of the most popular attractions in the area. The island is frequently serviced by small boats which makes it an ideal day trip for visitors.

In the centre of Elounda, one can find a picturesque fishing port. Around the waterfront, there are several bars and restaurants. Also, north of the port lies the nearest beach to the town, where visitors can take some time off from sightseeing. Expect to meet some crowds whilst there.
