Geographical influences

Because Elounda is found on Crete’s sandy northern shoreline, the weather here is ever so slightly cooler and wetter than resorts in the south of the island. This is because Crete’s central hills block some of the northerly winds from travelling across the land. Most visitors find these conditions very refreshing in hot months like July and enjoy the increased winds.
