Detailed description

Elafonisi Beach Tour from Heraklion in an air-conditioned coach

Once in the tropics and back - at least according to the feeling, Elafonisi is not in Greece, but in some exotic paradise at the back of beyond. Crystal-clear water, fine sands with the interplay of colours of the smallest corals, the extensive lagoon and of course the highlight: the island of the same name, which you can reach on foot from the beach through the warm turquoise water. For one day, our Elafonisi tour from Heraklion takes you from the north coast of Crete to this place of exceptional beauty, which is secluded at the most south-western point of the island and is one of the most popular destinations in the high season. Enjoying the vastness and wilderness of this oasis for once - an absolute highlight in the minds of many.

The Elafonisi Beach Tour starts in Heraklion with pick-up from all resorts between Agia Pelagia and Malia. The trip departs early in the morning and takes some time to reach the south-west. With outward and return journeys, we collect around 580 kilometres on this Elafonisi day tour and thus many impressions of the island. We see some of the beautiful landscapes, drive through small villages and mountainous terrain. You will experience the island tour in an air-conditioned, comfortable coach with a professional guide and local driver. We will stop for small breaks along the way. When you pack your beach bag, add snacks and drinks to your snorkelling gear and sunscreen.

Once occupied by pirates, Elafonisi is now synonymous with the Greek dream beaches. Covered with sand dunes, low trees, bushes, sand lilies and junipers, you will experience a unique natural setting here. The tour from Heraklion to Elafonisi is always an extended day trip because of the distance - but the journey should not deter you from visiting this wonderful Crete destination.
