The island is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of white sandy beach, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The island is known for its crystal clear turquoise waters, fine white sand, and the unique pink colored sand that can be found in some parts of the island. Elafonisi beach is a true natural wonder, and it's easy to see why it's so popular with tourists. The shallow waters make it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the underwater world.

  • Kedrodasos Beach

    Kedrodasos is a stunning and secluded beach located in the southwestern part of Crete, Greece. The name Kedrodasos actually means "cedar forest" in Greek, but despite its name, the forest is mostly made up of juniper trees. The beach is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sand, which is sprinkled with seashells and pebbles. It is a great place to relax and soak up the sun, away from the crowds of the more popular beaches on the island. Kedrodasos is a protected area, and visitors are asked to respect the environment by not littering or removing any natural objects from the area. There are no facilities on the beach, so visitors should bring their own supplies, including food, water, and shade.

    1 hour

Elafonisi is stunning in the offseason

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an absolutely wonderful time today! Leonidas was our guide, and he was incredibly friendly and communicated exceptionally well. The tour team seamlessly managed a last-minute change to our group, which we really appreciated. Elafonisi Beach was stunning—crystal-clear water, a beautifully maintained beach, and easy to walk around. It was truly a memorable experience!

A tour that exceeded all expectations!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was one of the most enjoyable tours we experienced in Greece! Our guide was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable, making the entire experience unforgettable. Although the weather turned out to be overcast, it didn’t detract from the tour at all—our guide’s deep understanding of Crete and Greek history more than compensated. We highly recommend this tour!

Feels like family!
