Set in the picturesque hillside of Piskopiano, a charming Cretan village, Elgoni Apartments is your go-to spot for a laid-back Greek escape. Perched just 1km from Hersonissos Beach and 1.5km from Star Beach, this cheerful and budget-friendly apart-hotel offers stunning views, homey comforts, and a touch of traditional Crete. Whether you’re here for the beaches, the tranquil village vibes, or simply to soak up the sun by the pool, Elgoni has you covered.
