Maria Stella

You’ll find the Maria Stella apartments in Elounda, a relaxed seaside town that’s home to pretty streets and a golden-sand beach. This family-run hotel is in a quiet spot just outside the centre of town, tucked between trees and a flower-filled garden. It’s within a stone’s throw of plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, and there’s a bus stop just across the road, so it’s well connected if you want to explore other parts of Crete. 

There’s no pool at the hotel, but the beach is less than a five-minute walk away and there’s plenty of space to roll out your towel on the sand and gaze out at the Aegean Sea.
