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 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.

    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.

    The apartment is super clean and has all the facilities and equipment. It feels like home. We have booked a room with big terrace. The view of Monastery with sunset was amazing. The host couple is super nice and friendly. The location is also very great, 9min drive to the Elafonisi beach and serval restaurants and supermarkets nearby. We would definitely stay here again if we come back.

    We had a lovely time at family run Glykeria Hotel... from the moment we checked in to leaving. The restaurant had a very good menu and was perfect to watch the sun set. The hospitality was exceptional, and Maria and Nikos gave us great advice on sightseeing nearby. You could feel the genuine care. One not to be missed!! Thankyou for making our stay so memorable.

    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.

    Lovely host, beautiful location, and the view is absolutely stunning. Perfect for a couple who appreciates being a little removed from the crowds. We love walking and felt this property was located within the perfect walking distance to and from Elafonissi beach each day.

    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.
