This place is heavenly! We stayed for 3 nights but we could have stayed a week. Mary is super helpful and a super happy and lovely host. Our room was extremely tasteful and impeccably clean. It even has an upstairs room! We loved having the (amazing) breakfast on our little terrace in front of the room.
Mary have us some great tips: visit Elafonisi early (we arrived around 09h and we could choose from all the sunbeds and experience the lovely scenery almost on our own before the huge crowds arrived (around 10:30). After we had lunch a bit uphill and went to Mary’s second tip: Kedrodasos. Just as beautiful (or maybe more) as Elafonisi but very remote and quiet. No sunbeds but nice trees for shade. We are forever grateful for this recommendation 😄
The apartments are located in a small beautiful village without any restaurants or shops but a 7 min drive will take you to good tavernas. When you use Google Maps to go around don’t take google’s advice on how to leave or return to Ellafos Traditional living (or make sure to check with Mary which route to take ;) because the route it kept on showing us is NOT suitable for cars haha (the route directly from the parking area). We’ve learned this the hard way!
Thank you for everything and hope to see you again!
