A few years have elapsed since our last visit to Elounda and one thing we looked forward to was an evening by the waterside at Olondi. This restaurant had been our favourite on previous visits and once again it lived up to expectations. We arrived early evening and were greeted like old friends by affable host Yannis who showed us... More

We went early at about 6pm for my son's tea and his spaghetti bolognese was delicious (don't think it was beef but perhaps pork with a hint of cinnamon) and we enjoyed a couple of cold beers served in cold glasses and the delicious squid salad with potatoes...

I have just returned from a week in Elounda & must recommend the Olondi for great food. This restaurant has everything & more with its wonderful views across the bay to Spinnalonga Island, nice atmosphere created by the very friendly & helpful Yannis & Kostas [also known as 'the smart guy']. Their locally grown olives are the smallest, sweetest &... More

We found this by chance but ended up eating here 3 times during the week we spent in Elounda. The food was superb ,really hot and had the added touch of a dish of vegetables to share. If you go to Elounda you should try it. Costos is very helpful but all staff were lovely and helped us decide what... More

My husband and I have just returned to our shop from a marvellous lunch at Olondi Restaurant. This is just on the waterfront, walking away from the harbour, keeping the sea to your left. Walk beyond Megaros and Poulis, and there is Mediterranean, then Olondi. Yannis is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met - and that... More

The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly, and we washed it down with lovely crisp white wine. On our second visit to Elounda we ate at the Olondi twice,... More
