Yes. There are facilities located near the entrance at the beach level. Cost is 2 Euro per person. There are also changing rooms on the beach with no charge.

Gentile Martina, Si c'è un area dove ci sono bagni e docce.

I'm not sure their is a boat. We drove. It was about 1 1/2 hours and is pretty windy. Their are also drive services that will take you.

Hi. To begin from, I think you are my "type of animal" - I am not a fan of idle sunbathing either. The area around the beach is picturesque enough and you can have a walk to some local landmarks (remains of lighthouse and old little church), after crossing strip of water and getting to the Elafonissi island. It is not a long walk, however some (including myself) may find it better than sitting on the beach. If you decide to have a walk, be sure that you have proper shoes - the first part of walk is easy (just on the beach) but you may need to go cross some rocky areas, before reaching the end of island. As to the time of visiting the place: August is probably the most unfortunate month (unless you enjoy crowded places) - in order to reduce the misery, I highly recommend later hours for visiting the place. You will still enjoy sun and sea but will be able to avoid (hopefully) the hordes of noisy people.

Bonjour ce depons où se trouve votre hôtel. Il y a un bus que vous pouvez prendre depuis La Canée à 9h00 tous les matins, ce qui prend environ 2 heures pour se rendre à la plage. Il quitte la plage lors de son voyage de retour à 16h

Average temperature over the spring is 20-25 degrees celsius.

Did a day trip from Chania to Paleochoro and Elafonisi. Departing at 8.45am from Chania to Paleochoro in a 2 hours bus ride. After a fabulous lunch at Galaxy Family Restaurant, we head for Elafonisi in a taxi for €20. Catching the last bus at 4pm back to Chania.

Would advise taking the boat, its cheaper, quicker and v relaxed. Why tyer yourself walking. Not even worth the car trip or even walking

I took a bus from the city center in Chania. It dropped off right at the parking lot which was a 3 minute walk to the beach. Actually driving to the beach isn't recommended because of the roads being so narrow and winding.
