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.

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.
Located 2625 feet from Elafonissi Beach, Lafo Rooms offers accommodations with a balcony, as well as a garden and a terrace.

Great location! Perfect for exploring Elafonisi beach. Small but we only stayed one night so perfect for us. The host was super helpful with our schedule… checking/checking out.
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.
The rooms are located in small groups among the olive trees and feel very private. Lovely modern room, very clean, fresh decor, great shower and an exceptionally comfortable bed and pillows. There was a large terrace furnished with very comfortable, good quality chairs, table and sun lounger. The restaurant was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Being a few minutes walk from beautiful Elafonisi beach the location is superb, it was a joy to visit before/after all the buses and cars arrived/departed
Maria and Niko’s family run hotel is Greek hospitality at its best.
Great location close to the famous beaches - Elafonisi and Kedrodasos are amazing. Very nice atmosphere and friendly hosting. Whatever you prefer - enjoying the view from the terrace or lounging by the pool you will be satisfied
Highly recommend Glykeria because we really enjoyed it. Did I mentioned the delicious food… ?
Thank you Maria and Niko for treating us as friends :-)
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.
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.
The location was very good, only 10m min from Elafonisi beach.
The restaurant is great, with fresh food.
About the room, it was very clean, the bed was small and very noisy and the products for hand washing and showering could be better.
Anyway, I really liked the place with the facilities and host. If I went to the region in the future I would probably stay there again.
Beautiful place in a beautiful location. Loved the clean and comfortable rooms with sea views. Added bonus of the pool with sea view and restaurant. Maria welcomed us so warmly and gave us wonderful recommendations. she also gave us beach towels and umbrella for our outings. I’d love to come back with family and friends and stay much longer.
Very nice place to stay. One of the closest hotel apartments to Elafonisi beach. The manager, George, made contact with us through Booking.com and informed us how to reach the rooms.
They are right by a small market that has coffee and pastries (along with other beach materials)
Close to restaurants and taverns as well.
Very nice stay.
Nice place, with well-equipped, clean and comfortable rooms. Quite calm, with very good location to reach Elafonisi beach. Nice tavernas around just a few minutes away by walking. The woman who met us was very kind and welcoming, and same goes for the host who we communicated with via Booking.
Couldn’t have found a better place to stay close to the marvel that is Elafonisi. The house had all the comforts and we were treated like v. i.p.’s (Crete has the nicest people!)
Do not miss this incredible place. And go explore the wonders all around gorgeous Elafonisi

We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay. One of the nearest places to stay for the beautiful Elefonisi beach. Onsite restaurant with a good choice of delicious food.
The staff are a credit to the hotel and hospitality world.
We would highly recommend.
Superb location overlooking the beach. The apartment is comfortable with the facilities for a comfortable stay. The hosts are really nice, and help to make the stay enjoyable. We wish we had stayed longer!
