Ariadne Luxury Villa

This region is known for its rich archaeological past, as well as its intriguing military history (it was a naturally well-placed defence point, jutting out as a rocky islet.) On the resort  a leisure and art complex will be utilized for various activities; concerts and other public events will be organized and take place throughout the season. Many of the activities will revolve around a curated program of special events. The facility will also have indoor features, programs, workshops and courses run for kids, teenagers and families.

Visitors can access Spinalonga by boat from Agios Nikolaos, Elounda or Plaka. From Elounda harbour, there is a boat to Spinalonga every thirty minutes throughout the summer. It takes about twenty minutes to reach the island, while the sea voyage sometimes includes a sail around the Kolokytha Peninsula.

There are also boats from the little village of Plaka just north of Elounda. The trip from here is shorter, taking about seven minutes. Elounda Village, once a picturesque fishing village in lovely Mirabello Bay is today a stylish and crucial low holiday destination, offering just enough life for a sense of local flavour, yet not so much it becomes saturated with tourists.

It offers a spectacular coastline, shaded crystal ceases and clear waters. Many of the little surrounding villages are worth visiting: Mavrikiano, Plaka, Skisma, offering a trip inland through the mountains and a window into traditional Crete life.
