We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Glykeria Hotel — a true gem in Crete! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The host was incredible: always available, genuinely kind, and eager to help us with anything we needed. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and even helped us shape our vacation itinerary with local tips and recommendations we wouldn’t have found on our own. What makes this place even more special is that it’s a family-run business with a beautiful history that dates back to the grandparents. Hearing their story added such a personal, authentic touch to our stay. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable, with an unforgettable view of the sea — we started each morning with coffee on the balcony, soaking it all in. (Yes, coffee was included in the room, which we really appreciated!) Although breakfast wasn’t included, we happily ate at their restaurant across the street every morning — everything was fresh, local, and absolutely delicious. In fact, we ended up eating all our meals there during our 3-day stay because the food was just that good. Every dish was a highlight, and you could really feel the love and care that went into the cooking. If you’re looking for a peaceful, heartfelt experience in Crete with great hospitality, views, and food — Glykeria Hotel is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

I arrived before check in time, the place is really close to the station of the the daily public bus from chania. I did not tell my arrival time, but the staff helped me immediately to store my backpack, and I went straight to the Elafonissi beach. I could check in regularly at 14:00. Room is big enough, fully equipped, bathroom brand new, I would say. AC, fridge and coffee kit provided The veranda in front is great for chilling. Resto and mini market at a stone throw.

Amazing place. It is new and fancy with a very small private pool that we enjoyed more than expected. The host was amazing and very helpful, taking care of our wellbeing all the time. The place is perfect also if you want to go there for a creative solo retreat. Nice beaches all around.

This is one of the most marvelous places I've ever been. Such a quiet place and extremely charming. The studios are built in a way you have privacy. The room is quite big and has everything you need. The bathroom is so beautiful and has a very nice shower. They use such great elements to make the environment more authentic. I particularly liked the old painted closets and the hammocks outside which made you feel very relaxed considering the view and the concert of the crickets. The pool (with it's view on the surrounding mountains) isn't quite big, but definitely enough for cooling down. The owner is an incredible host! He spoiled us with fresh figs, grapes, pastries. Every morning there's this friendly lady coming to ask if everything is okay and if you need something. Couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Absolutely loved everything about it! Also, it is an excellent location to explore the west side of Crete!

    The beach is amazing, one of the most beautiful we've ever visited. Water is turquoise and sand is truly pink at the water's edge. Loved long walks, shore swims and the sand was amazing. Next to the beach is a conservation area that is really lovely and I enjoyed the walk! Walk across the relatively shallow water to the island to the right of the main beach. Get there early especially on weekends else all the lounge chairs will be taken! Do NOT park at the first parking lot as you enter town, the rates are MUCH higher than the $5 lot that comes next!

    If you don’t stay overnight in the village and come by car,...

    If you don’t stay overnight in the village and come by car, there are plenty of parking spots (3–5 € per day). The beach is beautiful — best to visit early in the morning (8–11) or later in the afternoon (16–19) when it’s less crowded. A small disadvantage is that there are only two tavernas nearby, and the mini market sells water at a higher price than elsewhere in Crete.

    It's a nice beach and especially good if you are traveling with young children since the water is shallow and warm. For my personal taste the main beach is too crowded and touristy and would prefer quieter more rugged beaches, but it was a great destination traveling as a family with a toddler because it was safe and clean and we were staying at a hotel within walking distance from the beach.

    Great beach with varied water levels and temperatures from 20 to 30o C in the summer I’d say. Walk and swim around to find your perfect spot. The sand is wet in most of the places. A lot of nature but heavily visited especially on Mondays and Tuesdays from what it seemed to is during our stay. Two beach bars, two restaurants above, several room rental places, two supermarkets and some shops. Prices are a bit high from Crete, especially in the supermarkets, but still good options. The connection to Kissamos and Chaina is not bad, please not there is a new motorway section in the mountains that bypasses Topolia and its gorge tunnel that is not in Google maps yet.

    Elafonissi beach is truly spectacular. Definitely worth a visit. The beach is very crowded. The only alternative beach within a radius of 20 km has natural shade from trees (convenient in the wind). In case of wind, it is also quite crowded.

    Elafonissi beach is beautiful but can get very crowded. Paddle over to the island for more secluded areas. It is well worth the effort The taverna at Elafonissi village is excellent value for food and drinks with friendly staff who never make you feel hurried

    Nice hotel close to Elafonisi beach (close with car, and the road is easy). This year the bathroom is also renovated (the furniture in the room was already upgraded previous year). So the bathroom is quite good now. Great view from the balcony. Good wifi. Close to the road ( easy access) but not near the road, so no noise from it. Enough place for parking. Nespresso coffee machine inside rooms. Close the supermarket where you can buy coffee and pastries. There are several tavernas nearby. It's worth to spend several days here.

    It is a clean room with all necessary facilities, adjacent to a cafeteria and run by the cafeteria owners, who also own a fish restaurant a few hundred meters away where you can get 10% discount from the price. The room is suitable for overnight stay, but it is not particularly comfortable if you need to spend time indoors. Probably the main attraction is the vicinity to Elafonisi beach - it is practically the closest village, some 5 kms away.

    It was within walking distance to Elafonisi Beach which is, in my opinion, so overrated it’s ridiculous. But to be honest that’s about it. Nothing about the property stood out to me. I found the staff other than Yanis to be mostly sullen & unhappy.
