Spiaggia con la sabbia rosa, stupenda.
Consiglio di arrivare molto presto al mattino perché gli ombrelloni e i lettini non sono moltissimi.
È presente un ampio parcheggio. Dopodiché è necessario camminare una decina di minuti per arrivare alla spiaggia.

Elafonissi is a beautiful beach, and Markidis ensured that our trip there from Rethymnon was comfortable and enjoyable.
The price of the excursion was only €25pp, which includes the ~2.5 hour coach journey (each way), 4 hours at the beach, and brief stops for refreshments on both the outbound and return legs of the journey.
During the coach ride out, Yanis kept us thoroughly informed with his expert local knowledge while the driver smoothly handled even the harshest of roads. There were spectacular views of some incredible gorges, worthy of an excursion in their own right.
The beach itself was lovely. After crossing the waist-high water separating the initial beach and the island, we continued round and found a lovely isolated spot. The water was so clear it was like looking at tap water, and with so much marine life snorkels are a necessity. We could have stayed there all day, but 4 hours did feel sufficient to enjoy the beach. Of note, there were indeed pink notes to areas of sand, but the real selling point of this beach was the clarity of water.

Very nice beach, water a bit cold for me but I still enjoyed it! The breaks were also very well planned for the toilet and on the way back for lunch.

An experience to have at least once in a lifetime. A beach, or rather two divided by a strip of sand at the end of which there is a small island, full of coves where you can go by sea where the water is even more beautiful, bathed by crystal clear waters and which leave the characteristic pink colour, which makes this lagoon famous, also for this reason. To get there, for us who were in Kissamos, it took us about 45 minutes by car, but it was worth it, there is a large paid car park and then a 10/15 minute walk. It is equipped with two bars with showers, and there are also umbrellas with sunbeds (€20), but they are few compared to the turnout, which is why I recommend arriving early in the morning, also to fully enjoy the beauty of the place and the water wonderful. A fantastic experience. I recommend it.

Driver and tour guide were great and very informative throughout, despite some treacherous mountain roads!
We went slightly off season so the beach was much quieter than during summer and probably nicer for it.
We'd have preferred longer on the beach and gone without the final stop on the coach journey home, but it was a good opportunity to stop for food which is otherwise hard to find on Elafonisi. Overall, a great trip and well worth the money!

An incredible excursion from start to finish. The tour guide is too notch, and funny. The road that leads to the beach is not for the faint of heart . Narrow road and plenty of curves, the driver was incredible. Do not look down !!! We stopped.inna small village for coffee and little bite, you are not obligated to buy anything. Once you arrive at the beach , it's an incredible view . One of the most incredible clear beaches I have ever seen. Sand has a little pink in some areas but not that much.
Guide suggested to go further away from main beach to have more privacy and he was spot on. We had our own private beach with 2 other couples. Water is Christal clear and big rocks , make it seem like your in the wild. Breath taking. I recommend to go.

Absolutely beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea. We walked to the far side of the island so fewer people. It felt like a paradise Island.
