Guykeria hotel and its management, in particular Maria was superb! Maria welcomed us with cold drinks at the stunning restaurant that is part of the hotel (huge bonus). The rooms are very comfortable and beautiful with refrigerator and plenty of room to stretch and to organize our things. Great balcony to the superb sunset.
Maria the host is a Supper-Women, really!!! she was taking care of every thing for us, and others. we received beach towels and sun umbrella to go to the beach (later we have bought for ourselves 4 of her great beach towels that we are so happy with).
The pool on premises is again a great bonus and wonderful to go to before the day begins or after a Long Beach day. my 11 years old daughter enjoyed the pool sooooo much and so do us.
This is a perfect place at Elafonessi!, peace and haven.
Looking forward to come for another week.

Perfect for an overnight visit close to the wonderful Elafonisi Island. Well equpped, clean and modern and everything you need. Stunning view of the night sky from the terrace.

Truly off the main road but perfect located to the beach. Clean and just what we needed. If you travel in peak season, be on the beach before 7.30 and enjoy it without the crowds (and grab sun chairs). After 9 am it’s the insanely crowded.

Very popular beach with two or three areas with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. Quite busy but the vibe was overall pleasant with lots of families enjoying the beach. Basic sandwiches to go and drinks are available at a snack bar on the beach. The hike down from the parking area can be challenging in the heat.

Beautiful area!
Beautiful area! The water is very shallow on the main beach so you can walk to the islet. The water gets deeper on the other side of the islet and you can snorkel/swim there. There are fishes and the water is clear/turquoise.
If you like to explore and walk around the coast in any direction, you will find natural pools and coves for wild swimming. The water was safe and calm.
I managed to swim in different coves every day, several spots over 5 days so there is plenty to see and not be bored. There are wild goats which you might spot while hiking.
You also have convenience stores, restaurants and food stalls.

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.
Maria and Niko’s family run hotel is Greek hospitality at its best.
Great location close to the famous beaches - Elafonisi and Kedrodasos are amazing. Very nice atmosphere and friendly hosting. Whatever you prefer - enjoying the view from the terrace or lounging by the pool you will be satisfied
Highly recommend Glykeria because we really enjoyed it. Did I mentioned the delicious food… ?
Thank you Maria and Niko for treating us as friends :-)
It is the only location very close to Elafonisi beach, just a 5-minute walk away. At the location you have everything you need for a quiet vacation: a panoramic view of the lagoon, swimming pool, tavern where you can have a meal and admire the view. The food is very fresh and diverse
Stelios is very kind, shows a lot of understanding for us. The room is nice, bathroom is new. The location is simply the best to visit Elafonisi and be on the beach before others come. Market is near and parking was free.
The house is very cute, very new and nicely designed. Hosts are super friendly, we felt like visiting family!
Location is great is you are planning to visit Elafonisi beach by car.
