Elia - seaside place, Agios Nikolaos Overview
Elia - seaside place is located in Agios Nikolaos, Greece. Rated 9.7 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Elia - seaside place is a small, beach-oriented stay in Istron, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, set on the Istron coast where sea views and easy shoreline access shape the experience. From the property, Voulisma Beach is about 600 meters away and Agios Panteleimonas Beach is roughly 700 meters, so you can plan swimming days without long drives.

If you’re traveling with family or friends, the BBQ facilities and board games/puzzles add simple, low-effort ways to spend time together. For connectivity, free wired internet is available.
Elia - seaside place is best for couples and small families who want a quiet base near the water, plus an easy route to nearby landmarks like Panagia Kera Church (about 3 km) and the wider Agios Nikolaos area.
