Elafonisi Beach dagtour met gids vanuit Chania

I had a great day, the tour guide Vicky and the driver Stavous were both so welcoming and friendly. There wasn’t too many stops on this tour so I chose this instead of other tour operators. The four hours at the beach definitely flew by. Great way to end my trip to Crete, Greece.

Elafonissi Beach was absolutely amazing. The pink sand was beautiful and the water was incredibly clear. Unfortunately it was very windy on the day we visited, but it was still completely worth it. The tour was also very reasonably priced and made the trip much easier and more convenient. We also stopped by Elos village during the trip. It was a very small and quiet village, but personally I found it a little boring compared to Elafonissi Beach. Overall, it was still a great experience and I would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful pink beach in Crete.

That the trip involved approximately 15 pickups and 15 drop offs at the end of the day. That plus two other stops cut into actual beach time.

Elafanisi Beach is gorgeous. The bus takes a 1/2 hour stop on the way. When we arrived at about 11 or 12 a.m. in mid-May, there were still a few beach chairs available. Later in the summer, expect not to get one, so be prepared to relax in full sun. The bus is a big one, and the chairs are very comfortable. It’s a Mercedes Benz. At noon, some parts of the sand were a very very faint pink, so don’t expect pink sand, but the water is blue and green, fresh, clean, and so beautiful. I’d considered walking out to where it’s deep enough to swim but it’s really far so I didn’t even try. Basically, this is a place to walk in the sea, enjoy happy people, take photos and relax. Enjoy! The tour company really knows their stuff! They picked us up at Mylos Super Market on the way where they said they would and were almost exactly when they told us they would, like within two minutes! That’s amazing cause it was 55 minutes after their first pick up in Chania.

Tour was great. Highly recommend this tour if any one want a day break. Excellent guide and tour departure and arrivals were on time.

Dimitri is a great guide for very detailed informations about beautiful island Crete! Highly recommend it! They are ptofessional and punctual too, thanks!

Well-organized tour with interesting stories from the guide and an amazing beach. You get about 4 hours at the beach, but keep in mind that it takes around 20 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the shore, so in total you spend about 3h30m on the beach. Afterwards, we had about 1 hour in the village and enjoyed dinner. I would have preferred a better bus, as some seats in the back were broken. However, overall I definitely recommend this tour — the guide made the trip amazing with his jokes and funny facts. Special thanks to the driver, who drove carefully along the serpentine road, so we didn’t feel sick during the ride.

It was interesting to see and experience Elafonisi, though it doesn't look as in some of the pictures that can be found online. For example, the pink color of the sand is not that saturated, and it's not pink everywhere. The water is crystal clear and nice to swim in. We brought our own parasol with us but struggled to keep it upright because of the strong wind. Don't underestimate the walk back from the beach to the parking lot - it is uphill and can be tiresome, especially under the scorching sun. The tour guide provided interesting information about Crete. On our way back, we had lunch at a tavern in Elos where the food came very quickly. The only thing we didn't like was the 30-minute stop at a café and honey shop on our way to Elafonisi because it felt too long. 10-15 minutes should have been enough.

Elafonissi is very crowdy in top season! You will not get a sunbed or an umbrella! But a very lovely place, so spend time in the water; taking pictures!

I loved all the facts about Crete on the way to Elafonisi beach. The beach is mind blowing. And the canyon is stunning! I enjoyed lunch as well.
