Itinerary
Elafonissi, located in the Chania region of Crete, is a breathtaking coastal area renowned for its stunning natural beauty. This idyllic paradise is often referred to as the “Pink Beach” due to its soft pink sand and turquoise waters. As you approach Elafonissi, you’ll be captivated by the sight of the pristine coastline stretching before you. The beach itself is a masterpiece of nature, boasting a unique blend of colors. The sand, tinted with a delicate pink hue from the countless crushed seashells, contrasts beautifully with the clear, azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Elafonissi Beach is a crescent-shaped stretch of paradise, offering both shallow and deep waters. The shallow parts near the shore are perfect for wading, while the deeper sections provide opportunities for swimming and snorkeling. The crystal-clear waters allow you to marvel at the underwater world, where vibrant fish and marine life gracefully dance among the rocks and seagrass.
Falassarna Beach is one of the most picturesque and idyllic destinations located on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Crete, near the town of Chania. This stunning beach is known for its crystal-clear waters, fine golden sands, and dramatic landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts.

We booked this trip expecting to travel to both beaches falassarna and Elafonisi and have a good time at the beaches . We where taken first to a cave that was in the way to elafonisi, when we arrived to elafonisi we stayed a while in there, but there where no umbrellas or chairs that we could rent or weren’t told in advance that was needed, that could have helped so we could stayed more. We stayed like 2 hours in the place and decided to tell our driver to take us to falassarna beach now. He told us that he was told just to take us to elafonisi beach, the cave and to have lunch. Clearly that was not what was stated in our reservation, we show him our reservation and he call the company but nothing could be done now, it was too late to take us to falassarna beach now. We tried to ask to please take us then to Chania center town so we can pass time there instead but the company couldn’t let him go there either. We insisted for this as there was still plenty of time in the in the tour, and the miscommunication was made by the company, but couldn’t help us with that. We told the driver to take us to our beginning spot that was in our cruise ship, there we took a bus shuttle and went by ourselves to have some time in the center of chania. I was too disappointed for what had happened, I told the company to explain to us about how that miscommunication happen. As for now , they have told us it was just a miscommunication by their side, that it had never happen before, but that we could have said and done something also on our side. The reservation was clear and we paid for a visit to two beaches and went just to one. We were offered a reimbursement for the money difference but haven’t receive it still. Driver was kind and try to do his best but couldn’t solve afterwards just to take us to chania town as we still had time, he told us the company wouldn’t let him. If you are reserving this tour, make sure the driver is taking you to both beaches. Bad experience for us.
Dear Guillerermo, We apologize for any inconvinience, but we do not deserve a revenge review. You threatened the driver with bad review and you were so rude, although he was trying his best to propose alternative places to visit, you were arguing that you did not wanna see any other attractions and return at the Cruise ship. Please next time be more polite. All of our stuff deserves respect. We would like to clarify several important points regarding your experience. First and foremost, your tour followed the scheduled plan, with a brief deviation due to a misunderstanding between similar tours we offer — a human mistake from the driver, who immediately contacted us when you raised your concerns. However, we must highlight that the additional attraction you visited, which WAS NOT INCLUDED in your booking - was never mentioned in your review as part of the experience provided for free. Regarding Elafonisi beach, sunbeds are indeed limited due to strict environmental protection regulations. However, as per our standard procedure, we provide umbrellas to all our guests to ensure their comfort. It’s also important to note that at 1:30 PM — when you asked to proceed to Falassarna — it was no longer feasible. Both Falassarna and Chania town are approximately 1.5 hours away, and with the tour scheduled to end by 3 PM, as clearly stated in the official tour description and the government-issued voucher, visiting these locations was not possible within the timeframe. Despite the timing limitations, our driver suggested nearby alternatives, including a restaurant in a beautiful traditional village and another with panoramic views over Elafonisi, which you declined. Unfortunately, your request to extend the tour or to alter the route could not be accommodated, as the structure of the tour is fixed by regulation and for operational reasons, so you decided to make a revenge review without even accepting there was no time to visit the places you asked for. We must also address that during the interaction, our driver was approached with rudeness and was threatened with negative reviews unless compensation was provided directly — something we cannot permit, as our staff deserve to work with respect and in safety. Nevertheless, we had offered a reimbursement for the difference, but you were rude to the customer support as well. We value all feedback and remain committed to providing a respectful and enjoyable experience for all our guests. As you can see our previous ratings we always give our best efforts so our travellers have the best experience in Chania. Kind regards, Michail
Michail was great. Picked us up from the Souda cruise port. Took us to the cave and the beach. He knew the area and able to get us where we needed to be. It was a hot day but windy. The beach was crowded but expected as it’s their prettiest beach. Bring your towels and sunscreen. Highly Recommend if you are looking for a tour in Crete.
Thank you so much for everything, had a fantastic time! Always at your disposal! Warm regards, Michail
