Elounda Bay, Crete

---

If anyone is looking for pure indulgence, good food and great hospitality go to Elounda Bay in Crete. I've just come from staying at the Peninsula Suites at Elounda but for those that find this too expensive (luckily I wasn't paying) they own two other resorts very near each other (one actually next door). Their Spa Centre is amazing, a huge range of treatments offered, something for everyone. This time of year had perfect weather for us to enjoy. There are culture excursions for those that do not wish to soak up the sun all day - Palace of Knossos which is from Elounda about 1hr away or take a boat to Spinalonga Island - a island famous because of the leper colony which was there until 1957. The boat ride itself was lovely and to get to the Island from our resort was 45 mins the long way and close to 30 mins coming back. Lots of lovely flowers and archways to snap photos off.
