Overview

Elafonisi in southwest of Crete is famous for its pink sand and low turquoise waters. Repeatedly this beach has been chosen to be among the world’s most beautiful. The pink sand is produced by the large amount of pink shells that get ground up by the sea. The area is a part of the European Natura 2000 protecting program. The water is generally quite shallow and safe for children. .For a most conferrable journey to/from Rethymno we make some stops.Agia Sophia Cave is a place of archaeological, geological and historical interest. The small church of Agia Sophia lays at the entrance to the cave that contains many rows of massive stalactites and stalagmites. In the traditional Cretan mountain village Elos, you’ll find the largest number of chestnuts trees on the island. During the stops it will be possible to buy something to drink and eat. Enjoy the ride through the lush Cretan landscape and a day in crystal clear waters by the exotic sandy beach of Elafonisi.

A wonderful activity

Published on Jun, 2024

An amazing place. Great tour of small villages with an amazing driver and host. The beach itself is very clean, water is super blue. Wear sun protection!! The sun here is no joke!

Elafonissi Beach

Published on Aug, 2023

Brilliant trip, the team were excellent in keeping us safe and informed. Beach was stunning, however be prepared fir a walk on a poor road, once there soft sand and clear water. Highly recommended thanks guys. M Jackson (Scotland) saw a 1 star review which I assume was sour grapes from a sour faced tourist that was late and was politely told so

Beautiful clear waters

Published on Sep, 2022

Warm crystal clear waters and gorgeous oink sand. Kids loved it and enjoyed swimming amongst the rocks and fishes.

Extraordinarily beautiful. Like a dream.
