Staying at Elounda Mare is a delight of traditional
Cretan architecture and interior design.
The typical whitewashed
surfaces bind harmoniously with the brown and grey rock walls and
the local carob and olive trees.
The decoration is exclusively
antique pieces of folk art; carpets, chests, tapestries,
mantelpieces, and fine Cretan marble throughout the halls and
salons.
The main building lounges
are centered around the Karavia Bar, where Nikos Avataggelos
lets his fingers run over the piano’s keys every evening in
accompaniment to the marvelous sunsets. Many intimate corners and a
card-playing area are to be found here too.
The Hotel has been
awarded the European Blue Flag for the past 9 consecutive years in
recognition of our continuous efforts to maintain the environment in
pristine condition, for efficient water management and wastewater
treatment, and for our participation in the rising of environmental
awareness among our staff and the local schoolchildren.
Near the children’s pool
is a playroom and table tennis, whereas baby-sitting services are
available for the younger ones. Near the beach one finds the sauna
and steam bath facility as well as the massage par lour.
Room service runs around
the clock, and bungalow guests can except full service on the garden
table next to their seawater swimming pool.
