This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for a maximum 6 guests. Elafonisi island and its beach are located in the southwestern tip of Crete, about 2 hours drive from Chania. It is regarded one of the best beaches in the world. This island is connected with Crete with a narrow and shallow strip of sand, forming with its long peninsula, exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water. A shallow lagoon is formed, and you can walk to Elafonisi island and explore its beaches. The road to get there goes through breathtaking Topolia Gorge, picturesque villages and the fascinating varied landscapes. The aim of this tour is not only to visit a beach, but the trip to get there is an experience itself. We will park 1/4 of mile (1/2km) away and have to hike on a dirt path to the beach. On the way back we will make a stop for lunch. Optional visit to a Winery, Olive Oil Factory for Tasting Tour or Monastery upon request.

    The road ends 1km (0,6 miles) before the beach. You will have to walk on a dirt track for 15 minutes down and 20 up the road. It will be harder to visit Elafonisi beach for children, persons with health problems or walking difficulties. Elafonisi is located in the southwestern most tip of Crete. It is an oblong peninsula, which often breaks in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the sea creates a small lagoon which you can cross the lagoon in order to reach the island. The island is a mile long, ending in a rocky outcrop. Elafonisi is a Natura 2000 protected area home to more than 100 rare plants and a great shelter for rare loggerhead sea turtles.

We went to Elafonisi Beach with one of the company's main guides Sofia! Sofia had everything planned from us, made sure we stopped when we needed to and took some pictures inside a gorge and then took us to one of the best beaches we have seen (and we have travelled a lot) Elafonisi! Absolutely marvellous our kids completely loved it! In the end we stopped at a village restaurant where we had a fantastic lunch!! Thanks to Sofia, she made our day trip as our best day in the island we had!!

Had a very nice day travelling to Elafonisi beach with our guide. She did a job making sure we were comfortable and traveled safely back and forth. We had 3 sets of chairs and umbrellas waiting for us in a prime location on the Beach given her set up. Elafonisi beach was one of the nicest I have seen, with shallow blue water. On the way back we stopped small restaurant and had the most amazing goat with olive oil.
