"Having watched the island from our room at the Blue Palace hotel for a few days prior to our visit we had built up all sorts of ideas of what it would be like. You can just about make out the buildings and the fortress from across the bay but it is certainly not the same as actually being there. A q..."uick 5 minute boat ride from Plaka (8€ pp return) and then a 2€ entrance fee enters you into another world. They say go before 12 noon as it can get very hot. This if course means everyone tries to do that so it can also get pretty busy. If you can go on a less hot day after 12 noon you will have less people and probably a much better experience. There are some steep areas, and rugged terrain so flip-flops are probably not the best footwear option. A bottle of water is a good idea too. There is nowhere to purchase anything on the island.

"We did the 3 1/2 hour trip. Trundling along we could see much more than on a coach. Went to the Olive Oil farm which involved much raki, wine & olive sampling, visited a village in the hills, saw a lovely old church. A very pleasant afternoon."
"Very quality service and nice resort. Rest stuff very friendly. The hotel is located on the beach of Elounda, about 70 km from the airport of Heraklion. Distance to: Center Elounda - 2 km, Agios Nikolaos - 7 km"
