Indulge in the amazing flavors of true Greek cuisine at the ‘Elies’ restaurant, nestled under the grey-green canopy of an ancient olive grove by the beach and seaside pool of Elounda Peninsula. A favorite among families with children, ‘Elies’ comes alive every night.Special events are organized every week, such as “Cretan Night” with traditional dancing from all parts of the island, and “OPA Night” featuring the Greek tradition of smashing plates. This tradition, which began in ancient Greece, is said to have inspired the idea of “kefi,” translating to good spirits and fun.
