The tour is one of the best organized & hosted tours we have taken. It is a fantastic way to see both Elafonisi & Falasarna beaches. It is absolutely stress free compared with renting a car and doing it yourself. You are provided everything you need for the beach (umbrella, beach mats, box lunch & drinks in a small cooler bag) . The stop in Vouves to see the oldest olive tree in the world was also super interesting. Christine who leads the tour is from Crete and shares interesting stories throughout including how important the olive tree is to the Cretan people.
The bus is extremely comfortable and after seeing the roads and parking at Elafonisi , I was thrilled not to be driving ! We arrived early at Elafonisi and you are dropped off right at the top of the path to the beach. Getting there early is really good as you visit before it gets too busy. Second stop at Falasarna is definitely worth it. The water is truly crystal clear & the colors of blue are mesmerizing. We did not feel rushed or hurried at any point. The group was also relaxed with visitors from France,Germany, U.K. and United States.
A shoutout to SeaByBus & Christine for a fantastic & memorable day in Crete.
