    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.

    Nice hotel close to Elafonisi beach (close with car, and the road is easy). This year the bathroom is also renovated (the furniture in the room was already upgraded previous year). So the bathroom is quite good now. Great view from the balcony. Good wifi. Close to the road ( easy access) but not near the road, so no noise from it. Enough place for parking. Nespresso coffee machine inside rooms. Close the supermarket where you can buy coffee and pastries. There are several tavernas nearby. It's worth to spend several days here.

    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.

    I had booked a small single room, but got upgraded to a triple room without additional charges. The room was simple, but large and clean, good value for the money I spent. The location is very convenient since it is 5 minutes away from Elafonisi beach by car. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

    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.

    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.
