チャニア発：エラフォニッシビーチ日帰り旅行、エロス島、ハニー＆ワインテイスティング

The beach was crowded but wonderful. Safe for even those who do not swim. Be aware that some beachgoers are topless.

Quite a long walk down to beach and back up. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues although we did make use of a disability van that was passing! Very reasonable snack bar on the beach. Take euros for sun bed hire and loos. Honey farm and Elos village were good stops. Ingrid was a very informative guide and Stavros an expert driver navigating hairpin bends!

We really enjoyed the trip! Our guide Carolina was fabulous, very knowledgeable and eager to share her love of Crete. We thought the trip was really good value for money, with a stop for honey tasting, a few hours at the beach and then a late lunch, if you wanted it at an extra cost, on the way back. The restaurant was lovely, at a small village, though be warned the portions are huge!!! But delicious! A thoroughly enjoyable day.

The guide and bus driver were wonderful. The two stops there and back were a nice way to break up the trip. The beach is beautiful, but the walk to and from the beach is brutal. Also, there was only one shower working at the beach and you have to pay to use a toilet so being coins.

We had the sweetest and funniest guide 🥰🥰

Guide was approachable and engaging, beach was very beautiful and the honey was delicious

Nice excursion, friendly guide, visit to Élos, a very cute little village; we were served quite quickly because there wasn't much time to eat (1 hour), but the food was good too. Magnificent beach

The pickup went smoothly. At the beginning, you can specify your own hotel or place of stay. Depending on the information provided, you are then assigned a pickup location that is easy to reach. Afterward, we were picked up on time and driven first to a family-run apiary, then to Elafonissi, and finally to the mountain village of Elos. During the trip, our tour guide Carolina constantly shared interesting facts and anecdotes about the history, traditions, and ways of life on Crete - in both English and German. Because of this, the somewhat long drive flew by. On the return trip from Elos to our drop-off location, there was deliberately no more input from the guide to allow us some rest and the opportunity for a nap after this long day. About Elafonissi Beach: Overall, very clear and very beautiful, shallow water. A natural lagoon forms where you can splash around perfectly. You can also see the red sand in places (but of course not as pronounced as in the deserted photos on the internet). Umbrellas and lounge chairs can be rented on-site for €20, but they sell out quickly. However, the bus also has umbrellas that you can borrow for free. Unfortunately, the umbrellas are partially damaged from frequent use and are not very sturdy otherwise, so it is unfortunately not easily possible to use the umbrella in stronger winds. About Elos: Cute mountain village with excellent food. Overall, a one-hour break was taken. This was just enough time to eat, so you can either explore the village or eat at the restaurant - not both. We would have liked to spend more time there, but our guide told us that there are often complaints that even this one hour is too long (you can find such a review here and there in the reviews as well). Overall: Anytime again

When you are heading out to Elafonisi beach be prepared for it yo get very busy. It’s a very popular beach. Loved that the tour operator offers free use of an umbrella. Also had a Stop over to taste honey and wine of the area.

Very pleasant experience and excellent shuttle and bus service. The destination beach is truly superlative.
