Pano and Kato Elounda village, Mavrikiano and the new settlement of Skisma, the port of Elounda, bask in the glorious sea as it opens up before  them offering its beauty and charm.This sea, as described by Mr Makridakis, glows like a sapphire under the azure light of the sky, rose-hued in summer  afternoons, silvered on moonlit nights. It is a sea whose light  infuses you gently but swiftly, having the power to touch you
emotionally. To float in this sea, or to observe it from further  away is like dreaming with open eyes.
This peaceful sea was used as a stop-over and refueling point during  the period between both world wars by the UK’s Imperial Hydroplane
