By far one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, Elafonissi is situated on the south west coast. A tropical effect is created by its white and pink coral sands. Head to the right for shallow water in a small enclosed lagoon ideal for the children. A walk through the lagoon to the islet is most worthwhile as you will discover this unique coastline.

Best thing I did in Greece!!

5.00Best thing I did on the whole trip. Chania was our first real stay in Greece and this was the best experience to start it off. Our tour guide for the bus ride has the best gift of the gab! She was so knowledgeable and entertaining for the whole bus ride to elafonisi and the ride was so enjoyable. We drove through tiny towns, stopped at a cafe for breakfast and bathrooms and the whole way they gave us informative wonderful facts, stories and pointed out cool things to know! When we got to elafonisi you have 4 hours about to enjoy the beach, it is lively and wonderful. We ended up paying for beach chairs but that was 20 £ which was for 2 chairs and an umbrella, totally worth it if you can get them. The water was freezing but incredible. Most beautiful water. The ride back the tour guide let us just ride in silence which is so nice after a long day in the sun. We stopped at a wonderful restaurant on the way back and I had goat in the oven which was incredible!! very moist and so delicious. I would do this again if I came back.

4.00If you travel from 10th og july until mid sept, it is difficult to get sunbeds at Elafonissi. It is a 15-20 min walk down to the beach, and the mini-marked is at tje carpark
The trip was well...

5.00The trip was well organized and informative, and we had plenty of time to enjoy Elafonisi beach. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the staff went beyond expectations when they retrieved and delivered our bag that we had left behind.
Great trip!

5.00Charter bus picked up us at a nearby location and drove us to the beach. We stopped at Agia Sophia cave along the way and a restaurant on the way back. The beach was stunning!!! Best beach I’ve ever been to! It was nice to have the bus drive us down the tough roads, especially after we were tired from the sun
