Featuring an a la carte restaurant, Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family is set amidst a garden with olive trees. It offers air-conditioned accommodation, some self-catering, and free Wi-Fi in public areas. The popular Elafonisi Beach is 650 metres away. Well equiped room for visiting the best island in Crete, Elafonisi! We had our own parking and as soon as you walk out of the resort, you start your walk to this amazing beach! There isn't anything around the town so thankgooness they had their own restaurant where we ate fantastic Greek food at very affordable prices. They even do breakfast! There is also a supermarket up the road (mini one across the road but pricey) Would recommend if you are visiting the beach especially as sunbeds are sold out by 10am, you can walk down at 9am to purchase, leave your towels there and head down later during the day. The host was wonderful too! Cannot fault this place at all!

Younger guests can have fun at the 3 children’s pool, at the playground or participate in the games that the animation team organizes.

The room, the restaurants, the bar, the pools, the waterpark and the most important the friendly people that working there, always with a smile, ready to help you with anything needed.

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at the resort. It truly lives up to its 5-star reputation. The resort is stunning, with an authentic Mediterranean charm that we fell in love with. The bungalows and villas were especially beautiful and made our stay even more special. The service was exceptional, and the food—oh, the food—was simply outstanding. We enjoyed every single moment and are already missing it. All in all, it was a fantastic vacation.
