Elia Studios, in detail

General Overview Elias Studios

The studios are located in a pristine environment and offer panoramic views of the magnificent beaches of Hiona and Kouremenos; The latter is an ideal spot for windsurfing. The name Elijah dates back to Minoan times when it stood for Palekastro.

Elia Studios in Palekastro consists of 6 units – apartments from 26 to 28 m2 – which are located on the slope of a hill near the traditional settlements of Agathias and Palekastro.

This exceptional location offers its guests magnificent views of the sea, the village and the surrounding mountains. The studios are family run – you will surely feel at home there! The friendly environment and clean facilities guarantee a pleasant, perhaps unforgettable vacation. During your stay you can visit the most interesting and beautiful places in Palekastro, Sitia and East Crete.

The Accommodation Elias Studios

Each studio accommodates 2-4 persons, equipped with kitchenette, refrigerator, bathroom with hair dryer, air conditioning, TV (Greek channels), access to telephone and internet.
Each studio has at least one balcony, some have two, offering a view of the blue see, the Kastri Rock and the nearby islands. Paved staircases and paths connect the individual studios. Flowers and rockgardens decorate the area around the studios.

Restaurants & Bars Agathias Studios

Elia restaurant is a Traditional Cretan Cuisine restaurant, located in Agathias Village, just 300m far from Elia Studios, directly next to the Church.

Booking Elia Studios with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

01

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

02

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

03

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

04

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
