Guests arrive at a working olive oil farm in central Crete where stone buildings and vineyard views create an immediate sense of arrival in authentic Greece.
The property's 25 acres of cultivated land mean your wedding party experiences the landscape intimately, attending ceremonies under olive trees, dining in restored traditional spaces, and retiring to comfortable hotel rooms within the same grounds.
Eleonas transforms a functional agricultural estate into a full-service wedding destination where guests sleep, celebrate, and explore the same terrain.

It’s the best family friendly spot hands down in the Mediterranean. We love Manolis and his staff, they always go one step above the rest. Eleonas is a great for families looking for a more relaxing, nature filled and super fun vacation.
