Dining & Gourmet
Part of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection, dining at Elounda Mare ensures an exquisite and exciting gastronomic journey. Set around an ancient millstone and nestled within a blooming garden over the water, the atmospheric Old Mill has received multiple 'Toque d'Or' awards, proclaiming it as one of the finest restaurants in Greece. The multi-award-winning Greek chef, Antonis Petrellis, serves a unique, delicious menu of innovative Cretan cuisine - which will appeal to even the most discerning and demanding palates - accompanied by an equally astounding wine list.
Luxury Beach
The turquoise allure and complete clarity of the water is beautifully juxtaposed with the soft, golden sand, on Elounda Mare's private, "Blue-Flag" awarded beach. Soak up the glorious Cretan sunshine atop a luxury sun lounger, or take to the waves with a spectacular array of watersports - including water-skiing, towable inflatables, waver runners and speedboats. Refuel with a delicious seafood lunch at the elegant Yacht Club, overlooking arresting views of the beach below.
