Reiseverlauf
Vor der südwestlichen Spitze Kretas, etwa 75 Kilometer von der Stadt Chania entfernt, liegen der Strand von Elafonisi und eine kleine Insel. Es ist nur wenige Gehminuten vom Festland entfernt, manchmal ohne die Zehen nass zu machen. Es wurde einst von Piraten benutzt, um ihre Beute (Lafyra) zu verstecken, und so erhielt es seinen Namen. Die Insel (ca. 1,3 km lang und 400 m breit) ist ein geschütztes Naturschutzgebiet und verfügt über einen der schönsten Sandstrände des Landes. Darüber hinaus ist Elafonisi der einzige griechische Anwärter in einer Tripadvisor-Liste der 25 besten Strände der Welt für 2014. Dies ist zu erwarten: blendend weiß-rosa Sand, türkis-weißes lagunenartiges Wasser, das sich kräuselt, wenn sie die Brise aufnehmen , ein exotischer Ort mit sporadischer Vegetation gegen die Kahlheit der kretischen Berge. Auf der Insel entdecken Sie zahlreiche kleine Buchten, Sandstrände und interessante Felsformationen. Es ist auch die Heimat von 110 Pflanzenarten, einschließlich der geschützten Androcymbium rechingeri, die so selten ist, wie es sich anhört.
Der Strand von Falasarna liegt im westlichen Teil Kretas, etwa 53 km von der Stadt Chania und 13 km von der Stadt Kissamos entfernt. Sehr beliebt bei Tagesausflüglern, sind seine atemberaubenden Strände und das klare türkisblaue Meer einzigartig. Es hat viele Auszeichnungen für seine Schönheit, Annehmlichkeiten und Dienstleistungen erhalten, die der Besucher genießt. Der lange Sandstrand ist einer der wichtigsten Vorteile, da er den Besuchern die Möglichkeit bietet, ihn auch in der Hochsaison zu genießen. Das Schwimmen im kristallklaren türkisfarbenen Wasser des Strandes wird jedem das ultimative Vergnügen bereiten. Der Strand ist zum größten Teil mit Sonnenschirmen und Liegestühlen ausgestattet. Es gibt jedoch mehrere freie Plätze für diejenigen, die es vorziehen, ihren eigenen Sonnenschirm und ihr Handtuch auf den Sand zu legen. Was Sie am meisten beeindrucken wird, ist der bezaubernde und einzigartige Sonnenuntergang, einer der schönsten in Griechenland. Der Sonnenuntergang dort ist wirklich beeindruckend, da zwischen Strand und Horizont nichts das Sichtfeld behindert.
Der Olivenbaum von Vouves ist wahrscheinlich einer der ältesten Olivenbäume der Welt, der bis heute ertragreich ist. Das genaue Alter des Baumes kann nicht bestimmt werden. Während Jahrringanalysen zeigten, dass der Baum mindestens 2000 Jahre alt ist, haben Wissenschaftler der Universität Kreta sein Alter auf 4000 Jahre geschätzt. 1997 wurde es zum geschützten Naturdenkmal erklärt und im Oktober 2009 wurde das Olivenbaummuseum von Vouves in einem nahe gelegenen Haus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert eingeweiht, in dem traditionelle Werkzeuge ausgestellt sind, die beim Prozess des Olivenanbaus verwendet wurden. Seit den Olympischen Spielen 2004 in Athen wurden Olivenzweige „Kotinos“ dieses uralten Olivenbaums bei jedem olympischen Spiel für den Kranz der Marathonsieger verwendet. Jedes Jahr besuchen über 20.000 Menschen aus aller Welt diesen uralten Baum.

Our trip to Elafonisi and Famissi Beach was absolutely unforgettable! Christine and Kostas were fantastic tour leaders—warm, engaging, and so knowledgeable. Learning about the history of Crete and the traditional olive oil making process added such a rich layer to the experience. I loved getting a taste of different parts of the island, and I can't recommend this tour enough!"
Dear Kathryn, What a lovely review — thank you so much! ❤️ We’re truly happy to know that your day in Crete was so unforgettable. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and Christine and Kostas will be especially touched by your kind words. We love sharing not only the beautiful beaches of Elafonisi and Falasarna, but also the stories, traditions, flavors, and little pieces of everyday Crete that make the island so special. We’re so glad you enjoyed the olive oil experience and getting a taste of different sides of Crete. Guests like you make these days even more enjoyable for us. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day with us, Kathryn. We hope Crete will stay in your heart, and that we’ll have the pleasure of seeing you again someday! 🇬🇷
Christina and Kostas are the best for this tour! The drive is a little rough with the winding road to get to Elafonissi but Kostas is a very good driver and Christina was well prepared with anyone that might have motion sickness during the drive. The first beach is beautiful and is a great spot to be early in the day before all the busses start to drop off other travelers with just enough time there to enjoy the beach and leave before the crowds really show up. Lunch provided was just what you need to make it through the day. Christina was nice enough to walk our small group down to make sure everyone knew when and how long it takes to get back from the drop off point. Fallasarna was a much better beach experience, water is deeper, you can swim freely, the water actually feels like you’re in the ocean with waves and a walk up beach bar that has drinks and food. The last part visiting the ancient olive tree in vouves was the perfect way to end the trip, I had previously visited the tree but Christina is very well versed in the history and importance of the tree that filled a lot of gaps that my other guide missed and had a lot more information about the whole culture of olive trees in Crete that was very pleasant way to end the day before the short drive back to Chania. Wonderful day! Great trip I’d recommend to everyone to do this if you’re just getting into Crete!
Thank you so much Aaron and Megan for taking the time to write such a detailed review! It was a real pleasure having you with us. ❤️ We’re so happy you enjoyed the whole day, from arriving at Elafonisi early and enjoying it before the crowds, to swimming and relaxing at Falassarna. And yes, those winding roads to Elafonisi are definitely part of the Cretan adventure! 😊 Kostas will be very happy to hear your kind words about his driving, and I’m glad Christina was able to make the journey more comfortable for everyone. It also makes us very happy that you appreciated the little things, like walking down with the group at Elafonisi and explaining the timing and meeting point. We want everyone to feel relaxed and confident throughout the day. And your comments about Vouves are especially meaningful. Since you had already visited the ancient olive tree, it’s wonderful to know that Christina was able to share new stories and give you a deeper insight into the history and importance of olive trees in Cretan culture. Thank you again for recommending the tour to people visiting Crete for the first time. We truly appreciate it, and we hope you’ll return to our island someday — there’s always another story, beach, or village waiting to be discovered! 🇬🇷
Absolutely recommended: Impeccable service from the very moment of purchase, providing all kinds of information and personalized attention by Christine, punctuality in the pickup, wonderful driving by Kostas, and the accompaniment and guidance by the wonderful Eleni. I would repeat it a thousand times with them. It is a long excursion and it is appreciated to do it with professionals. Nico and Yolanda

The trip was very well organised from start to finish. The pick up was correct and on time, we were met by our bright guide Eleni and the skillful driver Kostas that took us on a trip around western Crete through history, traditions, local customs, etc. Elafonisi beach is truly breathtakingly beautiful and we enjoyed it whilst also enjoying the snackbox of local food prepared by Eleni and Kostas for us. We also had portable sunbeds and umbrellas provided for every beach we visited, so you don't have to pay the daily fee at the local beach bars. Finally, we visited the oldest olive tree and had a nice olive oil tasting session whilst learning Greek. Overall, an amazing experience, would definitely recommend to try it. You'll learn a lot from Eleni and Kostas, besides a really good driver, also takes great pictures.
