Elea à la carte
Authentic Cretan Flavors
Thoughtfully Served
Welcome to Elea—a modern tribute to the soul of Greek cuisine.
Named after the sacred olive tree, Elea reflects the purity, depth, and timelessness of the Mediterranean table. Here, tradition meets creativity in a curated à la carte experience that celebrates seasonal ingredients, fresh seafood, and the rich culinary heritage of Crete and Greece.
Our menu is rooted in simplicity and brought to life through thoughtful technique and elegant presentation. Each dish is crafted to let the natural textures and flavors shine—from the cold-pressed olive oil that anchors every plate to the herbs and vegetables handpicked from our own garden, Perivolaki.
Set by the pool in an ambient setting, Elea invites you to slow down and savor: to share, to taste, to connect.
Unhurried meals, heartfelt hospitality, and the flavors of the land—this is dining, the Cretan way.
