Overview

Somewhere between heaven & earth, there is a Cretan beach paradise sculpted by nature over ancient times. On some days, this geological masterpiece is connected to the coastline of South-West Crete, and on others, it is an island you can easily wade to through a shallow sea corridor. Imagine yourself basking in crystal blue waters of the intermingled Cretan & Libyan Seas. With your toes sinking in the fine white sand that is blissfully blended with flecks of pink from millions of crushed shells as the fresh sea breeze touches your cheeks leaving salt crystals in its wake. There are many ways to appreciate Elafonisi, but none is quite as rewarding as a tailored & stress-free escape for discerning travelers who pursue experiences at their own pace. On the road trip across West Crete rely on our top local insider to immerse in a true adventure in the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle. This is your relaxation rhythm. Take things slower, breathe deep & luxuriate in your freedom.

Great day trip!

Published on Jun, 2024

Beautiful clear water and nice sandy beaches with a great lunch afterwards! Thanks so much Alexander for a great experience!

Excellent All Around

Published on Apr, 2024

The entire experience was fantastic. Nikos was a top tier driver, extremely well spoken, and was able to share excellent facts and history about the region. We were treated to local cuisine and snacks. We were given plenty of time to enjoy Elafnosi. They were also the only tour we could find that would pick up in Heraklion. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience with an amazing guide!

We had a private tour scheduled and at the last minute our port changed. This company was so accommodating and adjusted to meet us at our port. Our guide Panos was entertaining, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable of the area. We wanted to see Elafonisi but due to wind/weather the conditions were not good for that but we were able to adjust and have a fantastic time. Panos brought us to an amazing Tavern for lunch and then serenaded us on the trip back to the port. We were highly impressed and enjoyed every second!

Perfect day

Loved this excursion ! The drive to elafonisi was beautiful and terrifying !! Thank you to nikos for maneuvering the windy cliff roads ! The scenery was breathtaking and company of our guide super! Very knowledgeable and kind , knew where to stop for the best shots …. On the way …. The beach itself was amazing .. yes pink sand ! I wish I could have spent more time there. However our tour started from Heraklion , which is a far drive ~3 hours +. Much closer to chania if you are staying there , you could have a full beach day ! Great company and great food and sights ! The day was perfect

Great tour with an excellent guide.

Nikolaos was an excellent guide and a great conversationalist. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the Cretian way of life with us. We started on the eastern side of the island so much of the trip was driving, however, Nikolaos kept us entertained with his knowledge of the island. The place we stopped for lunch was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Crete. I will say, however, if you are booking this tour I recommend getting picked up on the western side of the island closer to Chania. You will have more time at the beach and visiting other stops. It was a shame we didn't have time to do more, but over all an amazing tour.
