I believe the place was stayed was called "Elunda Bay" (sp?). At the time it was a family-run cluster of waterfront villas with a restaurant serving home-cooked meals. It was very intimate and rustic, and off the beaten path. Sadly I learned (by flipping through a catalog of cruises and resorts) that there is now a mega-resort which goes by the name "Elunda Bay", or something of that ilk. I wonder if, in fact, it really is the same place? Tragic, if it's true. When I was a kid we vacationed on Crete for about a month one summer.
