Find what gives you joy and go there! Welcome to SCHISMA ELOUNDAS 🇬🇷, a serene coastal village near Agios Nikolaos, on Crete’s stunning northern shore. Tucked into the Mirabello Bay, Elounda is known for its calm waters, elegant vibes, and postcard-perfect harbor. Once a quiet fishing village, today it blends timeless charm with luxury — attracting visitors from all over the world. In this walking tour, we’ll explore the peaceful port, wander along the seaside promenade, and visit the local beach. Elounda’s beach sits right next to the village — easy to reach,
yet peaceful and serene. The sea here is famously calm — like a natural pool framed by gentle hills and olive-covered slopes. Shallow waters make it perfect for families and slow swims
under the Cretan sun. You’ll find sunbeds, shade, and just enough space to relax
without feeling crowded. Elounda may feel like a quiet fishing village, but just beyond the hills are some of **Crete’s most exclusive resorts**. Ultra-private villas, infinity pools overlooking the bay, and world-class spas have made this a discreet escape for the rich and famous. Over the years, it has quietly hosted celebrities, royals, and global leaders — all drawn to the blend of privacy, luxury, and stunning natural beauty. SUBSCRIBE
JoyOfTraveler Just across the bay lies **Spinalonga Island**, once a Venetian fortress and later a leper colony — now one of Crete’s most visited historical sites. Elounda was once the ancient city of **Olous**, partially submerged by the sea and still visible to divers beneath the surface. The calm, protected bay was ideal for trade in ancient times — and it still shelters boats from winds and waves today. Spinalonga was fortified by the Venetians in the 16th century to protect the coast from pirate raids and Ottoman invasions. From 1903 to 1957, Spinalonga served as one of Europe’s last leper colonies — a place of isolation, but also human resilience. Locals still share stories passed down through generations — of Venetian sailors, Ottoman traders, and hidden underwater ruins. Elounda may feel peaceful now, but its past is full of
drama, myth, and survival. As you walk along the harbor, the smell of grilled fish and fresh herbs floats through the air. Elounda’s tavernas serve up the best of Cretan cuisine
— simple, seasonal, and made with love. Don’t miss classics like dakos, tzatziki, stuffed vine leaves,
or fava with caramelized onions. Cretan cheese, especially graviera and myzithra, pairs perfectly with local wine or raki. This is more than food — it’s hospitality in its purest form: warm, generous, and full of flavor. Meals here are never rushed. Every bite, every glass, is meant to be savored by the sea. In Elounda, a simple lunch with a sea view becomes a memory
you’ll want to relive. SUBSCRIBE
JoyOfTraveler This is Ieros Naos Agios Loukas — a small harborside chapel that quietly watches over Elounda’s bay. It stands where sea meets land, faith meets tradition, and the rhythm of village life slows down. Locals often stop here for blessings, especially fishermen heading out into the Mirabello Bay. The church is dedicated to Saint Luke, one of the Four Evangelists — a symbol of healing and guidance.
