About this property
Nature Retreat amidst Mountains & Lake
Elinor Villa consists of two separate buildings with identical layouts, both fully equipped to ensure comfort and convenience. Together, they offer two inviting living rooms, two fully equipped kitchens, and six bedrooms, making Elinor Villa perfect for families or groups traveling together while still enjoying their own space.
Just a short distance away lies Lake Kournas, one of Cretes most captivating natural landmarks. Fed by underground springs, the lakes crystal-clear waters shimmer in shades of blue and green and support a rich ecosystem of turtles, ducks, and eels. Visitors can stroll along the shoreline, enjoy paddle boating on the calm waters, or unwind at the charming cafes and tavernas nearby.
Thanks to its serene setting and natural beauty, the area around Lake Kournas is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape, while remaining conveniently close to Cretes northern coast and its beautiful beaches.
