Itinerary

  • Elafonissi Beach

    Elafonissi Beach with its famous Pink Coral Sand is considered to be one of the most famous beaches all over the world as per the most famous travel guides. Elafonissi "breaks" in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. Elafonissi is a “Natura 2000” protected area. The island is full of dunes with sand lilies and junipers (like-cedar trees). The endangered turtles Caretta-Caretta and several rare animals nest on the island and it is strictly forbidden to remove any plants, animals from the area. Exotic beach with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells. Near the “breaking" point of the peninsula, the water does not exceed 1m, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people.

Accessibility Friendly!! :)

So happy we found this tour! I tore my ACL right before my trip and was worried about being able to enjoy vacation with crutches. Ingrid and her team went above and beyond to accommodate me, even arranging for a van to transport me down to the beach from the bus and back. She is so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. The bus driver, Ioannis, expertly navigated the mountains to the beach and back safely. On the way there, we stopped at a bee farm and got to taste local honey. We spent about 3 hours at Elafonissi beach, where you can rent sunbeds under umbrellas for 20 euro, 30 euro for handicapped section. There are plenty of small shacks for coffee, snacks, and beverages. Showers and changing rooms are free, restrooms cost 1 euro (free for handicapped). Restrooms in the mini markets at the parking area are free for everyone. On the way back, we stopped in Elos where we had about half an hour to eat at a local restaurant next to a bakery. Prices were a bit higher than in Chania and the food was ok, but we were hungry and the staff is friendly. At the end of the tour, we were dropped off very close to our hotel. Thank you, Ingrid and Ioannis! We had a great time :)

For value for money this was an amazing day out. The description of the tour on the website is what you get, so 4 hours on the most amazing beach I've ever visited. I overheard a tourist on the trip complaining to the lovely guide that we didn't have long enough on the beach but we had exactly the amount of time we booked for. Everything was also very punctual and well organised. The 30 minute stop on the way there wasn't expected, however I'm never going to be disappointed with a chance for more coffee in the morning! The stop did also have lovely views. I highly recommend this tour. This beach is an absolute must-see and you're guaranteed friendly tour guides, a comfortable journey, and some interesting facts about the island of Crete along the way.

Do bus tour vs driving yourself

Published on Aug, 2024

A nice bus tour to Elafinisi. Elia provided interesting information about Crete along the way. You can also rent umbrellas from them for 7 EUR which we recommend. The beach is crowded but less crowded if you walk to the right side. Didn’t see any pink sand but that was expected. Bring water shoes as walking through the water is quite rocky. Do the tour vs. driving yourself as the road can be narrow in some places.

Gorgeous beach, great tour company
