Itinerario
Cerca del extremo suroeste de Creta, a unos 75 kilómetros de la ciudad de Chania, se encuentra la playa de Elafonisi y una pequeña isla. Está a poca distancia del continente, a veces sin siquiera mojarse los dedos de los pies. Una vez fue usado por piratas para ocultar su botín (lafyra) y así es como obtuvo su nombre. La isla (aproximadamente 1,3 km de largo y 400 metros de ancho) es una reserva natural protegida y cuenta con una de las mejores playas de arena del país. Más que eso, Elafonisi es el único contendiente griego en una lista de Tripadvisor de las 25 mejores playas del mundo para 2014. Esto es de esperar: cegadoramente arena blanca y rosada, aguas turquesas blancas como la laguna que se agitan mientras recogen la brisa. , un lugar exótico con vegetación esporádica contra la cruda desnudez de las montañas de Creta. En la isla descubra numerosas pequeñas calas, playas de arena e interesantes formaciones rocosas. También alberga 110 especies de plantas, incluido el Androcymbium rechingeri protegido, que es tan raro como parece.
La playa de Falasarna se encuentra en la parte occidental de Creta, a unos 53 km de la ciudad de Chania ya 13 km de la ciudad de Kissamos. Muy popular entre los excursionistas de un día, sus impresionantes playas y su mar azul turquesa claro son únicos. Ha recibido numerosos premios por su belleza, amenidades y servicios que disfruta el visitante. La larga playa de arena es una de sus ventajas más importantes, ya que ofrece la posibilidad a los visitantes de disfrutarla, incluso en temporada alta. Nadar en las cristalinas aguas turquesas de la playa hará que cualquiera sienta el máximo placer. Su playa está totalmente organizada con sombrillas y tumbonas en su mayor parte. Sin embargo, hay varios lugares gratuitos para aquellos que prefieran poner su propia sombrilla y toalla en la arena. Lo que más te impresionará es la encantadora y única puesta de sol, una de las más hermosas de Grecia. La puesta de sol allí es realmente impresionante, ya que no hay nada que obstruya tu campo de visión entre la playa y el horizonte.
El olivo de Vouves es probablemente uno de los olivos más antiguos del mundo, que sigue siendo productivo hasta el día de hoy. No se puede determinar la edad exacta del árbol. Si bien el análisis de los anillos de los árboles demostró que el árbol tiene al menos 2000 años, los científicos de la Universidad de Creta han estimado que tiene 4000 años. En 1997 fue declarado monumento natural protegido y, en octubre de 2009, se inauguró el Museo del Olivo de Vouves en una casa cercana del siglo XIX, que muestra herramientas tradicionales utilizadas en el proceso del cultivo del olivo. A partir de los Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas en 2004, las ramas de olivo “kotinos” de este olivo milenario se utilizaron para la corona de flores de los ganadores de maratón en cada juego olímpico. Cada año, más de 20.000 personas de todo el mundo visitan este árbol milenario.

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! 🇬🇷

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.
