Elafonissi Beach Trip from Chania
Description
By far one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, Elafonissi is situated on the south west coast. A tropical effect is created by its white and pink coral sands. Head to the right for shallow water in a small enclosed lagoon ideal for the children. A walk through the lagoon to the islet is most worthwhile as you will discover this unique coastline.

If possible choose a day that is not windy. I enjoyed relaxing on the beach and had the opportunity to read.
Fabulous day filled with culture and swimming in one of Cretes best beaches. Agios Sofia was very spiritual and visiting a local village coming home was lovely surprise. You have to try the slow cooked goat with chestnuts ! Jo and Vasili were fantastic hosts. Efharisto!
It was a great trip! Our tour girl was amazing! Explaining us history, culture and greek traditions!
Great day trip tot he beach from Chania. Nice stops both way to eat/use restroom. AC on bus worked fine.
Everything about the booking experience was really smooth and easy, with very clear communication throughout. The trip itself was wonderful. Our driver was excellent, we were genuinely impressed by his driving skills! Jo, our guide, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history about the island along the way. Even our two nine-year-olds were completely captivated, which says a lot! Everything went smoothly at each of the destinations we visited, and the whole experience was as good as, if not better than, we had hoped for from such popular tourist spots. I would absolutely recommend booking this trip. We had a fantastic day and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Dear guest, Thank you so much for leaving this review!! It means a lot to us to hear that we met your expectations! We are very glad that you enjoyed our tour, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Best regards. Elafonissos Travel.
Joe was our tour guide and she was wonderful! Very patient and explained the cities history. Highly recommend.
Beautiful, very informative excursion.
Had the most wonderful with the family at Elafonissi beach. Can warmly recommend others to go.
Tour leader are excellent, providing tips & history. The bus was always on time. The stops on the way were excellent. But you should not expect much about the beach. You need to walk nearly 15 minutes after getting off the bus and you can barely see the pink sand. We arrived around 11AM. It was very hot, so crowded and no umbrella or sunbed was available. Many people were just waiting in cafes for departure time because they could not enjoy the beach.
Simona was Avery great and informative guide. Our driver was wonderful too. Next time I would warn that the walk from the bus to beach is about 900m. I probably would have worn runners and not flip flops.
