Xasteria features garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Elafonisi.

Everything !! Perfectly located to do more than just going to Elafonisi. Plus there's a shop right beside the apartments and nice restaurants to eat with good prices. Xasteria was amazing, the view from the garden was beautiful and the owners just make everything better for you. 100% helpful! Whenever we come back to Crete (totally worth it!), we would love to stay here again :)

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.

One mile from Aspri Limni Beach in Elafonisi, Sia Elafonisi Pool House provides accommodations with access to a hot tub and steam room.

This pool house is an absolute treasure, offering a haven of tranquility paired with a view that's nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment you step into this charming retreat, your eyes are treated to a mesmerizing panorama that stretches beyond the imagination.The hostess of this enchanting pool house Bergitta was an absolute gem, adding an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to an already remarkable experience. From the moment we arrived, her genuine kindness and welcoming demeanor made me feel like a cherished guest in her own home. It was a time of relaxation, adventure, and cherished moments that I will treasure for years to come.

Sea Lake Holiday House offers accommodations in Elafonisi, a 16-minute walk from Aspri Limni Beach and 1.6 miles from Stómio Beach.

This is an amazing place to stay and the owners are just fantastic. The location is really great if you are looking for a nice quiet stay in Crete. It's very close to some beautiful beaches like Elafonisi Beach (about 8 mins drive) and it's also close to the mountains if you want to go hiking or exploring. The little town has several great restaurants all within walking distance from the home. The outside of the home is very cozy where you can swim or relax by the pool or sit under the lovely olive tree. Our kids loved the pool. The owners are probably the best I have encountered in all of my travels. From day 1 they made sure we had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find snacks and fresh fruit upon arrival and throughout our time there the Owners also dropped off some delicious snacks from a local bakery as well as a crate of oranges. The home is very clean and comes with air-conditioning in the bedrooms as well as two separate bathrooms. We will not forget our stay here and I hope to come back here again sometime. If you are looking for a place with little shops and tourist traps then this isn't it but if you want a more quiet and authentic experience then this is definitely the place. I might add that on top of the great restaurant options in town there are some fantastic places nearby in the mountains as well. Lastly, if you are looking for a more touristy place with little shops and some nice restaurants I highly recommend Palaiochora (about 1 hour drive away through the mountains). It's a gorgeous town.

Very close to Elafonisi beach (around 10m walk), very quiet location, amazing spot to watch the stars at night, complementary breakfast, close to a market and various bars, and don’t forget to have a meal at Glykeria, 5m away by car. The staff was super attentive, kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to visit again!

    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.

    Elafonisi Beach, with its unique pink sand, is undeniably...

    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.
