Description

Travel to the southwest corner of Crete on a guided day trip from Chania to Elafonisi Island, with hotel transfers included. Spend a relaxing day swimming in the clear blue waters, relaxing on the pink sand beach, and soaking in the unique landscape of Elafonisi and get a free beach umbrella loan included at no extra cost.

Start with a hotel pick up and take in the lush green landscape en route to the island as you travel through the impressive Topolia Gorge and pass many traditional villages. Stop to purchase coffee and breakfast in the village of Elos, known for its chestnut trees.

After arriving at Elafonisi, enjoy 4 hours of relaxing on the beach and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. Afterward, enjoy lunch at a local tavern (not included).

We recommend instead of only honey tasting, local product tasting - it includes both raki, honey raki, thyme honey, chestnut honey, different types of olives, oil, and beeswax ointment.

This doesn't require an extra stop on the tour, Mr. Michalis is a local farmer offering samples of his products - while he also sells them.

This is next to the bus parking at Elafonissi, so nobody is forced to visit his stand, only whoever is interested.

But it might be a good thing to mention in the GYG-product that there's the opportunity for our guests to try local products.

Situated just off the island of Crete, Elafonisi is easily reached by walking through the shallow waters. Both the beach and island are protected wildlife areas of rare beauty.
