Beautiful beach, and a worthwhile day trip

Published on Oct, 2024

We loved our day at Elafonisi Beach. It wasn't too busy when we went in October - especially when we first arrived so we could have a stroll along the beach and a swim without the crowds. We were able to get a sunbed (costs €20 for two beds and an umbrella - but worth it as there was very little shade without this option). The journey itself was long from Heraklion (about 3.5 hours each way, with a toilet/drink stop each way) but impossible to get to without a tour or a hire car. Absolutely worth the journey, though. The scenery on the way to beach was beautiful - and the beach itself was stunning. Everything was very well organised - so we could just switch off and enjoy the day.

Must see beach

Published on Oct, 2024

The guide Elizabeth was fab! The coach was comfortable and the driver good. That beach is to die for! So clear and calm. The mountain towns were picture perfect

One of the best beaches in Greece, go!

Published on Oct, 2024

Trip was well organized, the tour guides were chill and explained everything well. They did their job. Plenty of time to enjoy the beach and have a full meal at one of the tavernas by the parking lot. Although it was a long drive, it was so worth it! Especially the drive through the gorge at the end, scary! You have to do a small hike from the parking lot to the beach through a gravel road and some rocky side trails. Wear appropriate shoes. Elafonisi beach was gorgeous, I couldn't stop swimming. I'm glad I went. Everyone here had big smiles on their faces. If you want less crowds, you'll either have to walk away from the sun beds area along the shore or walk across the lagoon to the island where there's beaches over there. I didn't need to rent a sunbed for my trip. There's a snack bar on the beach along with a small changing room (free), rinse showers (free), and a restroom (€1). This beach is kid friendly since the water is shallow and there's no waves.

Unforgettable tour to Elafonissi

Published on Sep, 2024

I wouldn't have been able to visit Elafonissi Beach from Heraklion without this tour. It brought me to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The tour guide was incredibly supportive and attentive, providing information in 4 different languages all by herself! The bus driver was very professional and kind as well. I would highly recommend this tour 110%!!

In the pink at Elafonisi

Published on Jun, 2024

A wonderful beach day! Our excellent guide warned us that Elafonisi publicity photos don't quite show the reality of the beach, but it's lovely regardless. There's no shade so beach umbrellas and mats are needed but can be bought at the local mini market as the sunshades and loungers for hire sell out really fast.
