Hmm...we can’t seem to find this place. Please check the spelling, or choose another location.

8:00 AM
Hotel Lobby. Hotel pick up is offered subject to customer(s) hotel location. In case property (villa-hotel-airbnb) is not within tour pick up areas, client should meet our group for the tour at the nearest pick up place possible.
After pickup from your hotel in Chania (select hotels only), travel west through Crete’s mountainous interior by air-conditioned coach.

Absorb the views en route as you head towards the Cave of Agia Sofia to admire the views and take a quick break for a coffee.

Then proceed to nearby Elafonisi Bay, home to the tiny protected nature reserve that is Elafonisi Island, whose name translates as ‘Deer Island.’ Hop out, and wade across the knee-high lagoon to the island's stunning, pink-hued sands.

Then, enjoy ample time to relax in the paradise-like setting. Laze on the sands, explore the island’s footpaths, or swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear seas — it’s your choice.

When it’s time, reconvene with your guide and return to the original starting point, where your trip ends.

We had difficulty with meeting the bus at the designated pick up point. I would suggest that anyone using the travel tours in Crete use a hotel for the pick up point. however after many calls a cab was dispatched to pick us up and reunite us with our bus. The day trip through the White Mountains was very nice and the beach is very nice...get their early as the sunbeds get occupied early.

Wunderschöner Traumstrand
Romy_K
, Sep 2020
Der Strand von Elafonisi ist einer der schönsten der Welt. Das Wasser ist kristallklar und türkis. Der Sand ist rosa gefärbt. Es ist ein Traumstrand. Dieser Strand ist einfach nur zum empfehlen. Die Abholung vom Hotel hat sehr gut funktioniert. Was zu beanstanden war, ist das in unseren Bus zwei Touren zusammen gelegt worden sind und wir eine Gruppe nach Balos und Gramvousa mit im Bus hatten und dadurch im allgemeinen etwas Zeit verloren ging weil sie noch im Hafen abgesetzt werden mussten. Wir sind 45 min. später im Hotel angekommen. Beide Touren waren nicht ausgelastet und worden deshalb zusammen gelegt. Der Bus war nicht der modernste und die Klimaanlage auf dem Rückwege war etwas schwach.
