| Elounda Beach, Agios Nikolaos, east Crete |
| Beaches in north Crete |
|
The beach is kept clean and environmentally sound, so that it has been awarded a Blue Flag. Floating like a mermaid is easy in these crisp waters! Most of the people that book a luxury hotel end up in or around Elounda. There are also quite some tourists that visit from nearby Agios Nikolaos to make use of the beaches, because there is a lack of good beaches inside Agios Nikolaos town. The picturesque setting of Elounda in the Bay of Mirabello was probably one of the reasons for the BBC Channel to choose the village as a setting for their series "Who Pays the Ferryman" in the seventies. There are many shops, kafenions and restaurants in Elounda and a lot of the people come to the village to make the boat trip to the Spinalonga Island to take a look at this former leper colony with its Venetian fortress.
