*** Free Dine Around Half Board For 2019 Stays of 5+ nights***
This all-suite and villa boutique hotel; Domes of Elounda, Autograph collection, offers everything on the average, sophisticated parent's wish list. There's stylish interiors, stunning views, cool bars, well respected dining and a luxurious spa plus an exceptionally family-friendly approach with a well-run creche and kids club, teen games room, handy baby gear supplies and a choice of baby-sitting or in-room dining with butler service - perfect for romantic evenings, even with tots in tow!
As you'd expect, this level of attention to detail and five-star facilities rarely comes cheap but thankfully there's a range of accommodation options to suite various budgets from spacious suites to luxury villas with private pools.
The Domes of Elounda has a scenic but convenient location a short walk from the cluster of tavernas, shops and bars in the small village of Plaka or a little further to the larger village of Elounda. The town of Aghia Nikoloas and the nearby "Aqua Splash" waterpark are both within a short drive. The mysterious, uninhabited island of Spingalonga, the subject of the recent Victoria Hislop bestseller 'The Island', is just across the bay and boat trips depart regularly from the hotel's pier.
Other sites of interest within an hour's drive include the magnificent ruins of the Minoan city and palace of Knossos, which are breathtakingly well preserved and considered to be the second most important historic site in Greece, after the Parthenon in Athens.
There's a great choice of restaurants both on and off site, but our top tip is The Ferryman in Elounda, which we and other guests found to be of really good standard, in a great location and with excellent service.

"We loved it actually - fab villa, really excellent with everything you need and very chic, fabulous view etc, Staff great and hotel a great size - not too big. The only let down was the food - an occupational hazard in Greece! It wasn't bad at all but just not amazing, though breakfast was fine and, at the beach restaurant, we had some great fresh grilled fish. We had a blast!"
