Elounda Akti Olous (Adults Only)

Best hotel in Elounda. Just spent another 11 nights at the Akti it’s simply stunning. The views are incredible and the staff are even better. The location of the hotel is perfect for a lovely wander into the harbour or a walk into the village on the lane. Breakfast and meals on the jetty is so special and you won’t take enough photos. Thanks again to all the staff and we will be back again xxx John and Lynette.

Any customer facing business owes its success to its staff and how they interact with their clients, even when tired and faced with stressful situations, the Atki Olous has this in bucketfuls. Indeed, some of the nicest people that you will ever meet work here. The hotel is spotlessly clean from top to bottom with daily room cleaning and frequent linen changes. Breakfast covers whatever you might desire which can be eaten on a pontoon over the sea, with fish ever ready to fight over scraps and within a short walk along a beautiful front is restaurant after restaurant all serving classically Greek dishes, plus more to suit all tastes. I personally would like to thank Popi and Spiros in the sky bar, fantastically friendly, knowledgeable and make the best drinks. Yanis, the night porter, great banter late at night and all round very knowledgeable nice guy Anastasia and Denia on reception always helpful The Nikos family who make all this possible Also, all those who work so hard in the background, the cleaners and servers who do a thoroughly superb job and make the Atki Olous such a wonderful place to stay. This is our third visit to this superbly family run hotel and we have already booked to return in May

Fantastic holiday and so relaxed and chilled. Two weeks of sheer bliss. Our flight was delayed from Liverpool so we arrived around 1am having been deposited in side street of Elounda and walking down narrow cobbled street, we were a little concerned. We woke next morning to a wonderful blue sky and full sunshine, glorious after our miserable English summer! We had a side sea view. Ok balcony is on tight side but to see that view. Breakfast was amazing and all of the hotel and eating areas are spotless and the staff are always cleaning and catering to all ones needs. Staff very polite and pleasant. Effy is lovely and works so hard. We often had lunch on beach. There is a snack menu. Bliss having a glass of wine served on the beach. Most days we just relaxed on the private beach or at the roof top pool with its amazing views. Another plus side to this hotel is adults only. Double bonus. Everything is within walking distance. We ate a few nights at the restaurant and once again food was amazing. The owners of the hotel have invested and spent money. Nice little touches, comfortable sun beds, decent parasols. Safe and air conditioning in rooms. We often used to have a cocktail in evening in rooftop bar, Spiros is lovely and so friendly, we miss him. Lovely cool breeze in evening. We will be back, thank you.
