We are just back from a week's holiday in Elounda and visited Lotus Eaters 4 times during that week (our children would have eaten there every night if we had given in to them!). We love the place as do our children. The food and wine are great and there is also a great selection for vegetarians (I highly recommend... More

We spent 2 weeks in Elounda and ate at Lotus Eaters twice and both times Dan looked after us really well and the food (we ate off the daily specials both times, really nice traditional Cretian food) was excellent. If you are looking for a really good yet reasonably priced place to spend an evening with great views and attentive... More

Very nice and friendly place. Food was nice and the owner was very helpful in discussing which locations to visit and which activities to do. The view from the restaurant is one of the best in Elounda. More

Every year or two you have an eating-out experience like this - just perfect. Like most people on hear, can't recommend it enough. Wonderful setting (waterfront surrounded by mountains), fantastic food (recommend the sagonakis), house wine a cut above the usual. This is topped off with excellent service - they have the rare skill of knowing when to have a... More
