As well as Elounda’s jet-set appeal, your luxury villa holiday, complete with private pool, also comes with the pleasures of charming Agios Nikolaos: the place where Cretan tourism began. From the impressive Lake Voulismeni, to the elegant marina and pedestrianized shopping area, it’s a grown-up town that definitely hasn’t outgrown its welcome. But away from the buzz of Ag Nik and Elounda, the Gulf of Mirabello has an unspoilt hinterland, where mountains and hillside villages, forest and gorges vie for attention with the area’s lovely beaches.
