" Me and my partner stayed here for 2... "
Submitted By: Mr A Little
Me and my partner stayed here for 2 weeks and we had a lovely time. The apartment is basic, but all we used it for was sleeping and showering so that was fine. Other people staying there did cook meals, and were fine. It is about a 15 min walk from the centre of Elounda so is nice a quiet, and has amazing views over the bay. The pool is lovely and the food/drinks at the pool bar are very reasonable. Pinelope, who runs the apartments, works behind the bar and is very nice, and helped make our holiday.
If you don't mind a little walk into, and back from the centre of an evening then you will like it here...although there are other tavernas nearby.

we are going back to the penelope(pronounced pinolope) after the lady who runs the apts.this is a fantastic base for your holiday.it has a 2* rating but why??? these apts are spotless,the swimming pool has fanatastic views overlooking the bay set in a peaceful surrounding.if u want a quiet day round the pool this is ideal.if your peckish, pinelope does really nice pizza and greek salads.the poolside bar is plentiful and after a night in elounda its lovely to sit round the bar next to the pool and chat with other guests.we have made many friends staying here.it doesnt matter that is it not in the heart of the village as the walk up and down to the village is not bad.your on holiday so relax and enjoy.there is one small downside which i dont like to mention but i feel i should.it is beyond anyones control!!!! there is a cockeral that crows about 4ish in the morning.however the answer is to drink plenty of raki and ouzo to knock u out.we are going tonite for the 3rd time as this apt so the bird cant be too bad!!!!!!!!!

we stayed at the penelope apartments (just me and hubby and left the kids with family)on arrival, the apartments were very basic - reminiscent of my greek island holidays in the 1980's. in the morning, on opening the patio doors was welcomed by a terrific view of the gulf of mirabella and elounda. very quiet to stay there. swimming pool elevated with views. really greek and quiet. would travel back there again.lovely poolside bar with snacks served by penelope. if you are expecting luxury then dont stay here, but if you want to get a taste of real greece surrounded by olive trees, cicadas and greek cats then go here. wonderful.... thank goodness there is some real greece left... it would be wise though to get some cockroach spray as at night we were visited by a few nosy friends.....

Basic accommodation but excellent views, pool and bar/food area. About 10-15mins walk into the town where there are a great number of restaurants and bars. A good resort for a pleasant holiday. No manic bars but busy.
