A facility that was made for us, relaxed, very relaxed, family-run, two pools, super breakfast (unfortunately only from 8 a.m.), tavern with delicious local dishes - package tourists in the north never get to see anything like this. Centrally located, practically in the center of Crete, every destination on the island can be reached in 3 hours. Several top hiking destinations are within walking distance. Manolis, our host, gives you a super detailed map of the area with 10 hiking suggestions - from easy to super difficult - that's enough for a whole vacation.

The Eleonas Country Village complex is located on a green slope with ancient olive trees and magnificent carob trees and resembles a small village hidden in the beautiful nature of Crete right next to the village of Zaros.
