If you are looking for a up market hotel dont bother, the aristea is clean and basic, wonderful views over the sea and mountains. we found the staff very friendly and helpful.

First impressions on arrival was not the same as on the photo, which was obviously very out of date.

Yes, that’s £8, and (allowing for inflation over the years) it must be the least expensive accommodation that we have ever stayed in. Although the Aristea... more

We drove into Elounda and walked into the closest hotel we saw. Room was available for 2 nights and we got a great price within our budget - with airconditioning, mini fridge and balcony with harbour view - no complaints.
