I couldn't agree with you more. I have never been a fan of Elounda ( readers of TripAdvisor LOVE it) and remember visiting this fishing village in 1970 when there was one restaurant in town!
I like Ag Nikolaos, and have spent a lot of time there, although of late, especially in season, it is overrun with Russian tourists which seem to have proliferated in the last few years in Greece, especially Eastern Crete.
