Most of you will be flying into Athens International Airport (ATH). From there, you’ll make your way to the island of Elafonisos, where Capari Suites is located. It’s a bit of a journey, but the scenic drive through the the Peneloponese region and the beautiful beaches waiting at the end make it well worth it!
Option 1: Rent a Car (Most Convenient)
Drive time: ~4 hours from Athens Airport to the Port of Pounta on the Peloponnese.
From Pounta, take the short 10-minute ferry across to Elafonisos. Ferries run frequently all day (no need to book ahead). You are able to bring a car across or walk on as a foot passenger. See the Ferry Schedule below:
Once on the island, it’s a quick 5 minute drive to Capari Suites.
Option 2: Organized Transportation
If you would prefer to not rent a car, we can help you arrange transportation to the island.
Getting Around 🚗
While taxis are available, we recommend renting a car to explore Greece and the island at your own pace. All of the beaches and activities are within a 5–15 minute drive from Capari Suites.
💳 Cash & Cards
Many restaurants and shops accept credit cards and Apple Pay, but some smaller tavernas and beach bars are cash-only. ATMs are available in Elafonisos town, so it’s a good idea to carry some euros with you.
☀️What to Pack
Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, and sandals — you’ll be spending plenty of time outdoors. A light sweater is handy for breezy evenings by the water. The island is very casual and laid back.
🐚Local Rhythm
Life on Elafonisos is wonderfully relaxed. Shops may close mid-afternoon for a few hours, and dinners often begin later in the evening. Embrace the island pace and enjoy it!
