Located directly on the beach promenade (which is transformed into a pedestrian zone for cars from the evening), the Golden Star and the Mediterranean offer an ideal base. Relaxation seekers, nature lovers and guests looking for beautiful white beaches with crystal clear water will find the best conditions here. A real insider tip to get to know a piece of still wonderfully original Greece.

In the small harbor with the somewhat laterally located ferry dock rocking in the light swell the countless small fishing boats. I see old & young men who mend the yellow nets and playing children.
A picture of ancient Greece from days long gone.
Tranquil, peaceful and picturesque.
Fish taverns and ouzo parlors with old tanned men looking at us curiously and friendly.
In the next few days with fresh fish, fish soup and the famous octopus we come with some of you then in conversation. The winter was long and news will be gladly exchanged.
Southwest of the village the first magnificent beaches of Kontogoni and at Kalogeras with its sand dunes and cedars. The present name Elafonisos means "deer island": the area of the island is about 19 km².
The highest elevation is Vardia with 276 m above sea level. It is about 570 m away from Pavlopetri on the Peloponnese. Together with some small surrounding islets and a coastal strip of about 3 km² on the opposite mainland, it forms the municipality of Elafonisos in the Peloponnese region.
Wonderful, clear water and long, fine sandy bays.
We feel like Robinson Crusou must have felt once.
A paradise for sun worshippers, snorkelers and nature lovers.
Ahead of us are 2 weeks of sweet idleness.
We read,
feast on fresh seafood,
and enjoy the sincere kindness of Jorgos, Eleni from Coralli Apartments and the old ever-smiling Missi Maria.
Our declared favorite beach is Simos Beach, a white sandy beach,
soft sand dunes, cedars swaying in the wind and turquoise green sea create a picture of almost exotic idyll.
The dream beach is very wide with fine sand, the water turquoise and clean,
almost like in the Caribbean. It is bordered by the two limestone hills of Cape Frangos and Cape Elenas and is 3-6 m deep.
Hotel, pension and apartments on Elafonissos:
Recommendation WTG: Coralli Studios and Apartments, Mediterrenean Star, Golden Star in the village of Elafonissos.
The Sarakiniko Bay
Southwest of it is the 10-15m deep and 3km long arched bay of Sarakiniko with its wide sandy beach,
where the white sand forms dunes in which dark green stump cedars take root. Here also the white sea daffodils bloom.
Such a beautiful dune landscape is very rare.
The water is emerald green and very clean.
Other beaches are: on the east coast, the bay of Lefki and the bay of Frangos, which opens to the south.
Right next to it stretches the wide bay of Sarakiniko, which takes up the entire southern coast. Both bays were safe anchorages, not least for pirate ships, and in their long history the scene of many a naval battle. Elafonissos has so far been spared from package tourism. Accommodation ranges from simple Greek-style rooms to boutique ambience and 2 hotels with pools.
The ferry goes outside of Neapolis in a few minutes to the island (in the summer months in the morning until 22:30 clock and in the half-hourly Rythmus).
has always been one of the best anchorages of the Mediterranean.
