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.

    We absolutely loved the hotel! It's located in a spectacular olive tree orchard, close to Elafonisi beach. The space it totally quiet at night, which is amazing! Our room (we chose the renovated one) was beautiful, comfortable, fully equipped, with a marvelous terrace and comfortable beds. On arrival, we got a bag of oranges from the owners which we later squeezed in our room. The restaurant is great as well, we enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner so much!

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful, clean rooms with great views! Very short, easy drive to Elofinisi. The rooms were full of great design touches and the bathroom was the nicest we'd encountered in our whole 14 days in Crete. We only stayed one night, but definitely would have enjoyed more.

    The room is great, very new, clean and bed was so far the most comfortable in our crete travelling. 10min from elafonisi beach, I suggest you take a room at smaroula and see the beach at sunset and sunrise where literally you can have it all for yourself.
