“In my opinion, this adults-only Elounda resort centers around culinary exploration and private relaxation. The all-inclusive experience extends to rooftop dining and VIP Cool Living amenities. Its thoughtful design, however, is most impressive, promising unobstructed Mediterranean views from nearly every vantage.”
