    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 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.

    It was very close to Elafonisi paradise beach, moreover the structure was surrounded by olive trees. The room was comfortable, with all the provided tools such as phondryer and towels. Wonderful the little terrace to have a rest. The owner very gentle to leave us some breakfast solutions with soluble coffee, thè and something to eat. The owner helped us even changing a not functioning bathroom light bulb, the day after the request. Finally a tiny mini market can be found just under the structure as well as excellent restaurants nearby.

    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.

    It's a very nice little family hotel with an amazing location right next to famous and breathtaking Elafonisi Beach. Our room was spacious and comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was very kind and helpful. One of the highlights was a hotel restaurant (taverna) with a beautiful view and an amazing food for reasonable prices. We will definitely be coming back!

    Everything was perfect considering our requests! Spend one night in a comfortable and inexpensive room close to Elafonisi beach. We have pleased that there is free parking, the room had a fridge, kettle, coffee and even some dining appliances. There is also a hairdryer and shower accessories. Everything what you need after spending all day on the beach. 😁

    Wonderful location and view, small family owned hotel, extremely kind owners and staff that looked after your every need and made you feel like family. Lovely restaurant-- great food, service, and food . Very close to beaches. Possible to walk to two very nice small and uncrowded beaches. Elafonisi Bech was no more than 15-20 minutes away.

    The Apartment was very clean, spacious and modern. The host welcomed us with a homemade dessert and nice amenities inside the room. The attention to detail and the genuine hospitality was exceptional. There is not much around in this area but we felt that the location was perfect close to Elafonisi beach. Thank you for a great stay.

    We loved our stay here. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with excellent outdoor areas. The views from the room are beautiful. We loved the area, a few nice tavernas near by and some lovely little walks around. Elafonisi beach is just 5 mins down the road. Drive down early to beat the buses!

    Location is great to visit Elafonisi and Kedrodasos beaches, just a few minutes drive to get to them. Restaurant is great, with an amazing fish soup and friendly staff. Also, one can see a great sunset everyday, from the restaurant floor. Very clean rooms and spacious free parking.

    Beautiful, clean rooms with great views! Very short, easy drive to Elofinisi. The rooms were full of great design touches and the bathroom was the nicest we'd encountered in our whole 14 days in Crete. We only stayed one night, but definitely would have enjoyed more.
