Complete calm, inspiring views, clear turquoise waters, baby goats. Sophia is an excellent host, met us in person so that we knew everything about the house and area. Head to Elafonissi beach, but then walk on the marked trail south to find empty swimming spots, a cedar forest, and golden beaches without a soul. We also enjoyed lounging by "the fjord" a channel of calm sea (protected from the wind and the sea by a large outcropping) walking distance from the house. Make sure to stock up on groceries before arriving as during the low season we found many restaurants and mini markets closed. The hike from Kampos village to platanakia beach is recommended.
