The unknown peninsula of Elounda, joined with the mainland with the very narrow passage of "Poros". Uninhabited, with small churches, abandoned farmhouses, secluded beaches (better known is Kolokytha beach), ancient quarry and stunning views of Elounda and the islet of Spinalonga.

Very close to Elounda and the Spinalonga peninsula there is an islet called Kolokytha. On the opposite side of the islet there is a wonderful beach, the beach of Saint Loukas or Kolokythas as it is called by the locals. The water is superbly clean, and the island of Spinalonga in the background is a reminder of the past. Spinalonga was the last leper colony in Europe which closed in 1957. The branches of the aged olive trees cast their shadows like strokes of an artist’s brush. If you are in the area Kolokytha is really worth a visit. It is suitable for older children but maybe not so much for the younger ones, unless you go well prepared of course. You can reach the beach on foot from the chapel of Saint Loukas . In that case, take a car as far as the church and the beach is just a 5 minute walk. Alternatively, you can take one of the excursion boats from Elounda. The route via Saint Loukas s especially scenic and beautiful, and we would recommend it without hesitation if you have a jeep and you enjoy walking.

You have to cross a dirt road 2 to 3 km and walk 10 minutes to reach but believe me you will be rewarded by the green waters and the beauty of the beach
