Somewhere between heaven & earth, there is a Cretan beach paradise sculpted by nature over ancient times. On some days, this geological masterpiece is connected to the coastline of South-West Crete, and on others, it is an island you can easily wade to through a shallow sea corridor.
Imagine yourself basking in crystal blue waters of the intermingled Cretan & Libyan Seas. With your toes sinking in the fine white sand that is blissfully blended with flecks of pink from millions of crushed shells as the fresh sea-breeze touches your cheeks leaving salt crystals in its wake.
There are many ways to appreciate Elafonisi, but none quite as rewarding as a tailored & stress-free escape for the discerning travelers who pursue experiences at their own pace.
On the road trip across West Crete rely on our top local insider to immerse in a true adventure by the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle.
This is your relaxation rhythm. Take things slower, breathe deep & luxuriate in your freedom
Enjoy a personal pick-up with a premium vehicle at your full-day disposal, at any defined time of the day. On the way to the most amazing pink sand beaches of the world, you will immerse yourself into the beauty of the Western Crete: its stunning nature, dramatic panoramas, nutshell mountains, which are split with deep gorges and honeycombed with caves rise in sheer walls from the sea. Most importantly, you will get acquainted with the vivid feeling that the sea is everywhere, even if it's not visible!
You will connect with quaint villages and their authentic local lifestyle, which is deeply family-oriented and rooted in ancient culture and traditions. In addition, you will make a stop in one of your favorite villages to enjoy a delicious Cretan breakfast.
Just not so far from Elafonissi beach, we highly recommend visiting the Monastery of Panagia Chrisoskalitissa (Our Lady of the Golden Step), a hilltop Orthodox monastery with a stunning view of the Libyan Sea. There you will have the opportunity to witness the millennial icon of the Assumption of Virgin - one of the "strongest" relics in the Cretan Orthodoxy.
When you finally arrive at Elafonissi you will notice how harmonically the lagoon is mixed with the Mediterranean and Libyan waters at this South-Western corner of the island. There you will spark your body and mind by relaxing on the pale pink sands, bathing in azure shallow waters, and admiring the floating nature reserve.
Please note that our team, as original Cretans who tend to take their meals seriously, keeps a unique handpicked collection of authentic Cretan taverns and restaurants. Thus, on your way back, do not hesitate to ask their recommendations for a special dinner at the most unique places!
