Modern facilities with a near by shop. We loved how friendly everyone was here. We felt like a part of community. Amazing people! We miss them dearly.
Beautiful clear waters, mountains on one side, turquoise water on the other one.

The staff at kochilas was friendly and accommodating! The rooms are quaint and small but it's no problem because if you're booking a room near elafonisi beach, you probably will spend all of your time at the beach! I'd also recommend visiting white lake too.
Located 2625 feet from Elafonissi Beach, Lafo Rooms offers accommodations with a balcony, as well as a garden and a terrace.

Great location! Perfect for exploring Elafonisi beach. Small but we only stayed one night so perfect for us. The host was super helpful with our schedule… checking/checking out.
Elafonisi is the most overrated beach in Crete.
Super crowded. The sand is not pink. It's a normal sand. The beach resorts are expensive, usually they are full and the chairs are attached. On top of that, you need to walk 20 minutes to reach the sea.

Breathtaking natural lagoon which everyone is coming to enjoy. Get here before the buses arrive at 10 am or come after 4pm when buses leave otherwise I think it is too crowded. Consider staying overnight at Lafo Rooms.

Elafonisi Beach, with its unique pink sand, is undeniably stunning. However, during the day it can become extremely crowded, making it challenging to find sunbeds. Nevertheless, as the day transitions into evening, the beach becomes quiet, serene, and free from crowds, allowing you to fully appreciate its true beauty, especially during the magical moments just before sunset.

What a ZOO!!!
What a ZOO!!! It’s mid October and the place is still super crowded. Cannot even begin to imagine the crowds in July or August.
Crowds aside… it is an amazing place… beautiful, clear water.. great for young families. One can find a bit of privacy across the water on the spot.

A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete...
A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete so far. It is also a very valuable and protected natural site. The beach offers a very varied environment. There is classic seating on the shore under umbrellas and bars. Towards the sea you can enjoy the shallow beach and the sea waves. On the other side there is a quiet shallow lagoon with several islets and a sand spit connecting the coast with the island of Elafonisi. The lagoon is just a paddle away. If you go further, the other side of the island is again washed by the sea and there is also quite a nice snorkeling environment. Because of the size and ruggedness of the place, you can easily find a space for yourself. But there are a lot of people. There is little shade on the spot, so the more experienced ones will occupy the better spots first thing in the morning. It's good to have something to protect you from the sun. You have to go back to the beginning for drinks and toilets, so count on that. Plenty of space to park on site, just the last stretch is not a groomed road so watch your tyres.
The whole family that runs the place was the best part of our stay! Helpful and always with a great smile...They made our stay great! The hotel is charming and very close to Elafonisi beach, just ten minutes by walk. The room was very comfortable, with relaxing views to olive trees in the morning, and to a starry sky in the night. The restaurant is great, lots of delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is not included but you can make your own in your cute kitchen at the room or enjoy the restaurant's menu.
Fab rooms within walking distance of Elafonisi Beach - both rooms spotlessly clean with en-suite shower/toilet (plenty of hot water). Fully equipped with fridge, kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, sugar, bottled water - with a great mini-market/coffee shop (with friendly and helpful staff, fresh food, bread, sandwiches and home-made spinach pies, fruit, dairy, souvenirs) right across the road. Stelios, the owner, could not have been more helpful and attentive - an absolutely brilliant stay and I will stay here again.
This was our fourth stay at Nireides Villas, we really love staying here. The villas are lovely, with a large living area downstairs and 2 double bedrooms upstairs. There are also 2 bathrooms, and the place is spotlessly clean. The communal pool is a highlight, being large and deep enough to properly swim in and there are 3 tavernas and 2 supermarkets within walking distance, Elafonisi beach is 5 minutes drive.
Elafonisi village is a lovely accommodation designed in balance with the landscape around. Our room was spacious, renovated and clean. We had a beautiful patio with a sofas set with a view towards the sea and the sunset in front. So romantic in the evening! The restaurant has amazing view over Elafonisi. The people who run the place are so nice and made their best to accommodate our wishes. We loved it!
Nice place, with well-equipped, clean and comfortable rooms. Quite calm, with very good location to reach Elafonisi beach. Nice tavernas around just a few minutes away by walking. The woman who met us was very kind and welcoming, and same goes for the host who we communicated with via Booking.
Couldn’t have found a better place to stay close to the marvel that is Elafonisi. The house had all the comforts and we were treated like v. i.p.’s (Crete has the nicest people!)
Do not miss this incredible place. And go explore the wonders all around gorgeous Elafonisi
Good location. Close to Elafonissi beach. Good for a family of 5 (2 adults/3 older teens). Nice that they provided fruit and water and cookies when we arrived. Parking available in front. You can’t see the sea from there but it’s a short drive to Elafonissi.
Maria and her team are very caring hotel and restaurant at the top I recommend 200%
a real gem this little restaurant for dinner or to have breakfast at the top all the flavors of crete are there
again a big thank you to Maria who made this stay wonderful.
Rooms are newly renovated and looked nice and clean. There were some complimentary snacks, coffee and tea in room, which was nice. Owner was really nice guy! It is really close to Elafonisi beach and there is mini market just next to the rooms.
It was very clean and all newly renovated.. Check in at the Mini market was friendly and handy for buying a picnic for the beach. The location was good for walking to the beach and the parking was excellent . The price Mae it very attractive.
It was like having a natural air-condition. Very close to Elafonisi and Kedrodasos beach. Very friendly host. He agreed to keep our luggages after the check-out so we can pick them in the evening.
It's an excellent location, very convenient for going to Elafonisi Beach. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! You have an amazing view from the dining area.
great location! 8-10' from Elafonisi & Kedrodasos beaches by car. we wanted it for the location and we were happy with all of it! bathroom in excellent condition.
