The Domes of Elounda has a scenic but convenient location a short walk from the cluster of tavernas, shops and bars in the traditional fishing village of Elounda, and within a short drive (5-10mins) of the larger town of Aghia Nikoloas and the nearby "Aqua Splash" waterpark. 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.

"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!" TV's Tess Daly & Vernon Kay who stayed at Domes of Elounda's Villa Aptera with their two daughters in 2012Review dated 03/06/2013
Hello from sunny Domes of Elounda! Just arrived yesterday and just wanted to say THANKS for suggesting this great place on your website! It lives up to all the promises and more. We are boutique hotel junkies and with a toddler in tow definitely wanted an ideal relaxing but fun place for our small family - without compromising on style and amenities! Not an easy task. September is great, it's active but relaxing-quiet too, not imposing and the many many smiles are sooooo welcome!! The breakfast was a feast for the eyes and palate. Thank you thank you and also happy to report they upgraded us without asking to a bigger room! Also a great credit to the wonderful staff who also arranged a doctor late last night to come this morning for our feverish child. I feel I can let go and just BE on this holiday which is EXACTLY what we needed and longed for. sunny greetingsReview dated 13/09/2012
