    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 a very nice apartment - although rather small with no real kitchenette, it was extremely clean, quite modern, with good shower, good beds. The small place was designed very efficiently. The apartment is close to Elafonisi beach and to a real natural treasure - a small bay that looks like almost a lake. It is also very close to a great monastery. The cleaning lady was the most hospitable and told us about everything we could do and see.

    Big, very clean room. Comfortable bed. Good sized shower and bathroom- everything new. Very kind, attentive host. We booked room on the last moment, but even thought he was ready to greet us within few minutes. We received a lot of useful advices. Nice area- few minutes with a car to Elafonisi beach, but nearby there is also another calm small beach. Good restaurants around. Plus for providing good quality cosmetics and bottle of water.

    This was a lovely villa in a peaceful location, great for 3 adults. The outside facilities were fantastic with a delightful swimming pool, comfortable loungers, hammocks and tables and chairs in the shade. It's in easy reach of the famous Elafonisi Beach but also other beaches, including the nearby White Lake beach which was beautiful and very quiet. The owner was very helpful, giving directions to the beaches.

    Everything was perfect, Maria was so helpful, we told her we'd go to Elafonisi Beach and she brought us a beach shopper with nice cotton Ibiza towels and a beach umbrella ☂️ to use there, lots of tips for the area around the hotel. Helpful with luggage, clean room, nice small balcony and lots of facilities to use incl. the pool and beds and sandbags to sunbath.. loved the hotel! Very comfortable beds!!

    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.

    Amazing location, a few min walk from the beautiful Elafonissi beach, one of the closest rooms available to the beach. Next to the room the family owns a mini market open until late and there is private parking available. Highly recommended, the room is quite new and clean

    We liked the location - very closed to the beach. The room/bathroom looked to be new - AC working very well. The view from the garden is amazing, full of fruits and flowers and an outdoor shower.

    Location is awesome, you can be at the beach before anyone else so that is great! There are 3-4 restaurants and one of them is right next to the rooms, so it's very convenient.
