Overview

Up to the south-westernmost point of the island, in one of the most spectacular and unexpected locations on the island is where we will spend the day. Elafonisi is a place of exceptional natural beauty, something between an island and a peninsula, as you have to walk through the sea to reach it. Once occupied by pirates, today it is a very popular destination for day trippers who flood there to faraway lagoon, whilst having a Mediterranean holiday. Elafonisi is a paradise on earth – a heaven of unparalleled beauty. It is covered with sand dunes, low trees, bushes, sand lilies and junipers. You can get there on foot from the beach by passing through shallow aquamarine and turquoise waters. The white and pink sand made of thousands of broken seashells, the limpid blue-green waters, the little coves and the secluded tiny beaches remind the travelers of a paradise lost. Take a swim in the warm tropical waters and relax under the hot summer sun!

Good experience

Published on Apr, 2024

Nice guide. Phillip our driver and guide was very nice, the weather was not very cooperative but he made best out of it for us

Wonderful!

Published on Jun, 2023

The cave , great driver and guide. Beautiful beach and the lunch stop on the way home! I would also recommend the shop across from lunch to buy excellent organic olive oil skin care !! The owner was awesome !

Like a dream

Published on Jun, 2023

The pink beach is gorgeous and unreal. It’s beautiful everywhere you turn… not easy to properly describe the experience unless you have seen it for yourself. The bus ride was comfortable. The guide told stories along the way which made the ride easier. I commend the driver for good maneuvering on that crazy road. After the beach, we went to a nice restaurant on top of a mountain …. amazing views and tasty food. Yes I would recommend this tour!

Great Service

Published on Aug, 2022

Great service, good planning, interesting sights and good food at the last stop. Simona and the driver were really fun. Elafonisi itself is as a good as a crowded tourist attract can ever be. Beautiful, windy and fool of people :)

Great option to go to Elafonissi Beach, a must see in Crete!

Published on Aug, 2022

They were able to accommodate us the night before. The bus was comfortable, on time. The guide was great and the tour is well organized, timings and stops are all good. Now the beach is simply amazing. never seen a more beautiful beach! totally a must if you are in the Chania Area
