We returned to Elounda this year to visit friends who live there and decided to stay again at the Akti Olous , this time for two weeks .

After checking in, the receptionist showed us to our room which was in the annexe on the ground floor and extremely dark and small with limited storage space. The outlook from the small balcony...

Superbly clean and comfortable. Staff could not be more helpful, breakfast is I think quite extensive. The only moans I did hear were about... More

The hotel is situated right on the sea front with a very attractive view of Elounda Bay. If you imagine how a view... More

The bathroom was also very small, but as we dont... More
