The old saltworks of Elounda, near the old town of Olous.
Close to the old town of Olous are the old saltworks of Elounda, which operated from the 15th century to the early 1970s. Built by the Venetians, in the 16th century they provided table salt for the Republic of Venice, which had just lost Cyprus (the main producer of salt) to the Turks. Once Crete was conquered (1669), the Turks continued to exploit the saltworks. Greece regained possession in 1929, and the local population continued to produce salt freely using artisanal methods.

Endroit agréable
Les salines en elles-mêmes n'ont rien de spectaculaire, c'est plutôt le charmant village avec sa rue piétonne en bord de mer jonchée de petits restaurants, face à l'ile de Spinalonga. On peut également emprunter la route qui mène sur une presqu'ile près des salines : les vues sont sublimes.
Enjoy the region while falnant in the village of elounda, its port and peninsula (access to the beach facing the small island of kalidona), very good time
