An interview with owner director Anthi Kadianakis of Elounda Gulf Villas, a Cretan luxury retreat.

After my stay at Elounda Gulf Villas in October 2021 and experiencing it's wonderfully warm hospitality and delicious Cretan cuisine, I sat down with Anthi Kadianakis to learn more about the resort and the meaning of the Greek philosophy of Philoxenia " friendship to a stranger " and what it means to Anthi. The hotel resort offers a variety of stunning villas to suit couples and all sizes of families and indeed multi-generational travel . A member of the Small Luxury Hotels family, this luxurious boutique retreat overlooks the Gulf of Mirabello and has views towards the Spinalonga Island (a former leper colony). As a preferred travel partner through our Virtuoso affiliation when booking with Halsall Travel you will receive a $100 resort credit to spend, an upgrade priority (if a higher villa category is available), breakfast x 2 daily, early check-in late check-out priority and for 7 night stays I will personally offer a 50 euro additional credit to spend at the hotel ! Oh and wi-fi is complimentary so no hidden charges. Halsall Travel crafts personal journeys throughout Crete, Greece and beyond. " Globally Connected - Personally Crafted. "
