Being at the end of the season we were extremely lucky with wonderful weather. Alikes is a small complex, situated on one side of a quiet road with the sea on the other side at the quiet end of the Elounda. The staff at Alikes were extremely welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a self catering one bed studio which wasn't large buy adequate. It had a shaded balcony overlooking the pool. The bed was very comfortable and there was a good, easily adjustable shower (my two 'must-have's!). The catering facilities in the room were basic - not much more than a sink and a fridge with a minimal amount of crockery etc. However, Elounda has so many waterside restaurants that apart from making our own simple breakfasts, we ate out. The quality of the food at every restaurant we ate at, was exceptional - especially if you liked fish! At taxi ride (10 euros) to Plaka and a boat trip to Spinalonga (14 euros pp) are well worth it. Apart from that we spent the week making the most of the sun on the small beach and sauntering along by the boats, soaking up the atmosphere and checking out the restaurant menus to decide where to eat that evening!
