Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Elounda cost?
Budget hotel prices in Elounda vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $123 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Elounda is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Elounda, focusing on areas slightly removed from the immediate waterfront or exploring accommodation types beyond traditional hotels will offer the best value. While Elounda is generally known for its more luxurious offerings, affordable options can be found.

Consider looking for guesthouses or small, family-run apartments in the quieter streets just a short walk inland from the main square and harbour. These often provide a more authentic local experience and are typically less expensive than properties with direct sea views. For instance, exploring the streets leading up from the main square towards the residential areas can reveal some hidden gems.

Alternatively, solo travellers might find better deals in the nearby town of Agios Nikolaos, which is just a short, inexpensive bus ride away.
When is the most affordable time to visit Elounda?
The most affordable time to visit Elounda is during the shoulder seasons, specifically May, early June, or September and October. During these months, you'll find lower prices for accommodation and flights compared to the peak summer period of July and August.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway without the peak season crowds, these months are ideal. The weather remains pleasantly warm, great for exploring the charming village, relaxing on the beaches, or enjoying outdoor dining. Flights are generally cheaper, and you can often snag better deals on hotels and guesthouses, allowing your budget to stretch further.

Solo travellers will also appreciate the quieter atmosphere and reduced costs during the shoulder seasons. You'll find it easier to book tours or activities at a more leisurely pace, and local tavernas are less crowded, offering a more authentic experience.
Is Elounda a budget-friendly destination?
While Elounda is generally considered a more upmarket destination on Crete, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look for guesthouses or self-catering apartments slightly away from the main harbour area, perhaps in the nearby village of Plaka, which offers stunning views of Spinalonga Island. Public buses connect Elounda to Agios Nikolaos, providing an affordable way to explore the wider region.

Couples can enjoy many free activities, such as swimming at the public beaches, strolling along the picturesque harbour, or hiking in the surrounding hills. Exploring the ancient ruins of Olous, just a short walk from Elounda, also offers a fascinating and free historical experience. Dining can be made affordable by choosing local tavernas away from the waterfront, where you can find delicious and reasonably priced Cretan specialities.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Elounda with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Elounda. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Elounda?
There are several wonderful free activities to enjoy in Elounda, making it an excellent destination for budget-conscious solo travellers and couples. You can truly immerse yourselves in the natural beauty and local culture without spending a penny.

One of the most rewarding free activities is simply exploring the charming village of Elounda itself. Stroll along the picturesque harbour, watch the local fishing boats, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere. The coastal path offers lovely views and is superb for a leisurely walk, leading to secluded coves where you can enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

For those interested in history, a walk to the sunken city of Olous provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. Located just off the coast, near the causeway connecting Elounda to the Kolokytha peninsula, you can often see remnants of the ancient city just beneath the clear waters. It's a unique and completely free archaeological site. Additionally, the small, traditional villages surrounding Elounda, such as Mavrikiano and Upper Elounda, are delightful to wander through, offering authentic Cretan charm and stunning panoramic views of Mirabello Bay. These walks are great for solo travellers looking for peaceful reflection or couples wanting a romantic outing.

Finally, spending time at Elounda's public beaches is, of course, entirely free. Pack a picnic, find a spot on the sand, and enjoy the beautiful Aegean Sea.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Elounda as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Elounda for you.
