Elounda Mare – where five stars actually mean something For our very first trip to Crete, we were curious to see if the warmth and quality of hospitality we’ve grown used to in some Peloponnese (secret) places we know, would be matched. Spoiler alert: Elounda Mare did not disappoint. This is a real-deal five-star hotel — not just because someone put five stars on a sign, but because everything truly lives up to it: comfort, facilities, and above all, the professionalism and kindness of the team. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in very good hands. Thoughtful details, genuine smiles, and a calm sense of care made our stay feel both luxurious and personal. After two weeks exploring Crete — a journey full of charm, history, and wild nature far away from the occasional "this-could-be-anywhere" kind of place — Elounda Mare stood out as something we’ll definitely return to. Special thanks to Jason, whose advice was always spot on (and much appreciated by two slightly over-curious travelers).
