• Elafonissi Beach - Spend a relaxing day on the small island of Elafonisi and soak up the sun on a paradise beach in Crete. Get back to nature on a day trip from Rethymno.
  Start your journey to the southwest corner of Crete to spend a relaxing day on the pink sand beaches on the small island of Elafonisi.

Take in the lush green landscape on the way to the island as you travel through the impressive Topolia Gorge and pass many old and very typical villages. Stop for breakfast in the village of Elos. Upon arrival at Elafonisi, get at least 4 hours to relax & swim in the crystal clear water. Go for a stroll along the pink sand beach. Benefit from beach kiosks where you can purchase food and water to rehydrate and re-energize.

Situated just off the shore of the main island, Elafonisi can be reached by walking through the water. Both the beach and island are protected wildlife areas. Depart by bus at approximately 16:00 and return to Rethymno for an estimated arrival time and hotel drop off at around 18:30.

We will spend the day at the farthest southwestern tip of the island, in one of the most breathtaking and surprising spots. Elafonisi is a location of rare natural splendor, a unique blend of island and peninsula. It requires a walk through the sea to get there.

Previously a haven for pirates, today it is a favored spot for day-trippers looking to escape to a distant lagoon during their Mediterranean vacation.
Elafonisi is a terrestrial paradise – an unspoiled spectacle of attractiveness. It’s adorned with sand dunes, low shrubbery, sand lilies, and junipers. Accessible by foot from the beach via shallow, aquamarine and turquoise sea. The soft white and pink sand, composed of thousands of shattered seashells, combined with the clear blue-green sea, secluded miniature beaches, and small inlets, transport visitors to a lost paradise.

Dive into the balmy tropical waters and unwind under the glowing summer sun!
