Rooms Kochilas Elafonisi, hotel in Elafonisi

Rooms Kochilas Elafonisi is a small family-run property, 3.1 mi from Elafonisi beach in the village of Moni Chrisoskalitissis. Free private parking is available on site.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I would consider this property as a hidden gem. The 1st impression looking the exterior may not be very good, but our apartment was perfect, well equipped(incl. Also a nespresso machine) and clean. The bathroom spacious and recently renovated. The sunset view from the balcony was amazing. Pretry convenient location for Elafonisi beach and Kedrodasos. Although the area seems a bit isolated, there are few nice restos. Good Vfm.

    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!

    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.
