Elafonissi Beach - one of the places in the world where you find Red sand beach!!!
Dead tree at Elafonissi Beach (Crete). Made this photograph close to sunset. Wen you are at low season you've got almost the complete beach for your self.
Get a dose of vitamin D at Elafonissi Beach. Once you've worked on your tan, stick around and watch the sky transform with colors as the sun fades away.

This Chania stretch of coastline is an ideal place to start your day of sightseeing. There's loads to discover close by, such as Pink Beach, Kedrodasos Beach, and Chryssoskalitissa Monastery. Take your time at Elafonissi Beach before making tracks to these other fine attractions.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (246 reviews)
The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and wine. You can't go wrong booking this wonderful property.

Beautiful luxury resort in exclusive Elounda Bay area. My family and I enjoyed the 5-star service and quiet serene location. Our private family villa was pristine, with private pool and amazing views. The resort pools were beautiful as well. Breakfast and on-site dining options were very good. The only room for improvement would be the hotel beach and club. The stone beach and service were truly excellent, but getting sunbeds was a bit of a challenge since the beach club is also open to the public.

If weather is bad (windy, chance of rain), they will not have toilets. Toilets cost 1 euro so bring some cash. It is nice but if it is cloudy not as good.
