How can I get there?

From Athens, you can get to Elafonisos by taking the Athens-Corinth National Highway. After Corinth, take a left following the signs that direct you towards Tripoli. As soon as you pass Tripoli and making sure that you are still on the National Highway, you meet up with signs that direct you towards Sparta. As soon as you arrive in Sparta, follow the signs that direct you towards Monemvassia-Neapolis. After you pass the Army base, you will meet up with the new road (the new bridge) towards Monemvassia-Neapolis which will take you towards Skala, Lakonias.

Upon arriving in Skala, there are two options from which you may choose.
The first option is Molaoi-Menemvassia. At the Monemvassia-Neapolis juncture, you make a right towards Neapolis kai just before you get to Neapolis, follow the signs and take a right towards Elafonisos. This particular way of getting here is the same method used by the bus and truck companies and is therefore a very busy road.
The second option which is the one that we recommend, is more delightfull to the eye and is also quicker. After Skala, Lakonias - turn right towards Elos kai pass the towns - Asteri - Glikovrisi - Elea - Assopo - Papadianika - Demonia. Here, turn right towards Neapolis. After you pass a town named Padanasa, you will see the signs that direct you towards Ag. Georgio-Elafonisos. When you get to Ag. Georgio, turn right and continue down the road until you arrive in Viglafia and Pouda from which point, you will take the ferry boat towards Elafonisos. The ferry boat ride is aproximately 15 minutes in duration and during the summer months the ferries run continuously.

From Piraeus, by means of boat or flying dolphin (please call the port authority at 27340 22228 to inquire about availability) until Neapolis, Lakonias. Then, you will drive towards Pouda. At Pouda, you will get on the ferry boat which will take you to Elafonisos. The ferry boat ride is aproximately 15 minutes in duration and during the summer months the ferries run continuously.

You can also get here from Chania, Crete by means of boat who will take you to Gythio. From Gythio, get off the boat and drive using the same road descibed above from Skala, Lakonias.
