Very popular beach with two or three areas with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. Quite busy but the vibe was overall pleasant with lots of families enjoying the beach. Basic sandwiches to go and drinks are available at a snack bar on the beach. The hike down from the parking area can be challenging in the heat.

Beautiful area!
Beautiful area! The water is very shallow on the main beach so you can walk to the islet. The water gets deeper on the other side of the islet and you can snorkel/swim there. There are fishes and the water is clear/turquoise.
If you like to explore and walk around the coast in any direction, you will find natural pools and coves for wild swimming. The water was safe and calm.
I managed to swim in different coves every day, several spots over 5 days so there is plenty to see and not be bored. There are wild goats which you might spot while hiking.
You also have convenience stores, restaurants and food stalls.

Elafonisi is the most overrated beach in Crete.
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.
IT WAS MAGICAL! What a hidden gem of a place. It is simply amazing. There were horses that could be seen from our balcony and an amazing pool which enjoys the view of a sunset. I would definitely recommended, not just for family but also for a romantic getaway. I wanted to extend my stay if I knew what a gem of a place it was. It's also very close to Elafonisi beach. There are cute little restaurants near by esp there is one who is Canadian it was excellent for food. You can also enjoy a coffee in the morning in peace.
The House is located only 3min drive to a number of beaches including Elafonisi, but in the same time is in a quiet area surrounded by olive tree orchards. By foot you can go to a couple of local tavernas for good food and drink. Hosts are very pleasent and you will be supplied with homemade olive oil, and fresh fruit. Of course the house is fully supplied with everything you may need and even more. We strongly recommend for families. When we return to Elafonisi we will definitely stay here again.
Perfect location, just a few minutes walk from the most beautiful beach of Crete. We had breakfast and diner in the restaurant managed by the hotel owners and were very satisfied as well, excellent food and very nice staff. The bedroom were spacious, comfortable bed, perfectly clean, quite … This is the place to go to enjoy Elafonisi beach at its best.
The location is excellent and a great option for a short stay at Elafonisi beach. 10 mins walk to the beach and super easy check in. The room is basic, but very clean and will provide you with all you need for your stay. It provides parking and you have a small porch area to use if you wanted to for breakfast/ evening drinks. Thank you for having us!
Very well designed modern hotel with nice pool and attractive sitting areas. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the shower the best one we had in Crete: balcony to watch sunset and sea. Maria was a fount of information and went to great lengths to get us some chairs for the beach, as well as supplying beach towels.
