Beauty of a beach ! Warm blue water, nice breeze, soft sand . We were there in October and it was quite busy in spite of the long drive, so don't know what to expect in the Summer..but fear the worst

Bart Hofker

Off season this is a very nice place, but I can't dare to image how it is in high season. People make this a whole family event , perfect for little kids.

Near Elafonisi is Kedrodasos, the area is full of trees and the sea very clean.Also 5km away you can make a stop at the historic monastery of Chrysoskalitissa which is built high on a rock . Read more

Best sea I have ever been ! Don't forget to go to the church near there ! The view from there is so awesome ! Local people said that in the past a baby felt from church and lived !

Pink sand beach (you can see it especially near the rocks), way too windy, but you definitely have a sunbed (we arrived at 10:30 am). As you arrive on the beach I suggest you go to the left side!enjoy

Dustin Lee

Beautiful beach and can walk quite far into the water! Prices at concessions are reasonable... 2 eur for a beer can. Sun chairs 15 eur for 2 as of May 2022 which is a little high but worth it.

amazing beach and waters, a must everytime you set foot in Crete! take your choice of swimming in every single beach part of a wonderful beach !

Efstathios Athanasopoulos

Unique pink sand . There are white liliums ( June/July) and the perfect thing is that u can rest in the sand where the water level is really low. You can also swim in high level water !

➰Dimitra T. ????????????

The most beautiful beach in Crete ! Turquoise shallow water endless white sand ! The beach is endless so there is place for everyone!!! Spectacular view all day long!!! Don't miss it!

Julia ????

You have to go to this wonderful beach at least once when you visit Chania. Consider going early!!!

Jennifer Hardi

Gorgeous place with white pink hue sand beach

Malte Bossen

Great beach . Walk a bit further to the island and you‘ll get a more secluded spot. Just not that much pink sand left in general - don’t expect too much. But still really beautiful.

Hereza Tajná

The place is very nice but crowded . If you don't like many people be there in early morning or late afternoon. Don't stop near the umbrellas and continue far to the elafonisi "island ".

Vladimir

Beautiful beach that gets extremely crowded in summer. To enjoy it at its best, come early and leave for the nearby Kedrodasos (a 10-minute drive) as the hordes start descending around noon

Salonikios

don't hesitate to take a walk in the water; you will be amazed by what's kept hidden from plain sight!

Kostas Ios

It is probably one of the 2 best beaches in the island !!!! It looks like a miracle of the nature !!!

Esin Esmerok

Amazing beach , it was a little windy but still one of the best views we have scene at crete. Sunbeds and umbrellas are fairly priced .

Stelios A.

One of nature's wonders. Stay for the sunset . Overcrowded during August.

Aleksandar Micev

White-pinkish sand and crystal clear waters. Explore the little island if you feel adventurous. The best beach in all of Crete.

Herman

If you have never been to Caribic you can thought you had been there. Very nice place, clean beach , free entrance, parking is huge and for free.

Nicky P

0,60€ for a 500ml bottle of water!!! 0.50€ for WC use!!! Nevertheless, a Beautiful beach , with clean facilities and stunning water colours!

Berke Cetin

Perfect. As if you were in far east or US. Also there are some cafes near the beach that you may find some cold drinks

Woody Wommack

Talk about #turnt this place is crazy. Get here early if you want a chair and umbrella

Danny Janssens

Top beach . Get there early for some great pictures.

Alexandros Plexidas

On the one hand, this is a magnificent scenery to visit. On the other, the place is drown by Kms of parked cars, umbrellas and selfie sticks. So avoid visiting during touristic periods.

Alessandro Boursier

If you go there during peak season and hate crazy crowded place, walk through the very last beaches for a little privacy and think to spend a night here to enjoy the wonderful sunset

Haris D

Just must see beach . Not stay,just see and go. Too windy, too crowded , you can't swim , only walk. Incredible sand colors.

Spyros Katsoulas

Must see... and still you won't believe it. Incredibly beautiful. Even when overcrowded. A M A Z I N G

1001 shades of blue. Hot sand. Crystal waters. A piece of paradise

Beautiful beach , but not as pink as expected.

Joao Ferreira

Be on the lookout for pink sand , clear waters and topless ladies ????

Chiara Canetoli

Beautiful beach ! Crystal water but very crowded !

Oyku Gencay

The road south of Topolia is closed, head south from Chania to Voukolies than from Kandanos head west to Elos. That's the best route.

Alex

Crystal clear waters, all shades of blue, just beautiful!

Jennifer Kosloski

Beautiful beach , very windy. Get there early to get a beach chair.

Challenging drive but doable. Go early if you want a seat! And leave early as gets crowded
