The Avril and the Sea Breeze - The Avril and the sea breeze restaurants are two fine examples of english run restaurants where you can enjoy traditional greek and english dishes, with good wines and a very friendly atmosphere, both are a must if you go to Elounda in crete.

Almyrida sandy beach - Almyrida, avery nice location in Apokoronas, Chania has a very nice sandy beach, awarded every year with blue flag

Sorrento - Loud and fun bar for all the family but not after 12pm when there are girls dancing on the bar and great entertainment formthe bar team and DJ. Great night out till 4am.

Camelot Bar, Elounda - Thomas, (Thenasis) provides a very warm welcome to all @ the bar in Elounda very near the beach front. Antonia his assistant also extends a warm welcome and although the English is a bit fragmented, she can make herself understood. ( I speak very little greek and even less Croatian!)She however speaks Greek like a local, so well done to her. They are lovely people. If in Elounda, visit them in the evening & experience what we did, you won't regret it!!

Olondi Restaurant. Elounda - Yanis & Kosta provide a very wide selection of traditional Cretan as well as European dishes. There is a fantastic welcome awaiting you and the location on the waterfront is spectacular. We have just come back, (again) and are looking forward to seeing them again next year. If you are ever in Elounda, you have to visit the restaurant, you will not be sorry!!
