• Elafonissi Beach - Elafonisi is an oblong landform that often “splits” into two parts by water, giving the impression of being a separate island. The island is covered with dunes featuring sand lilies and junipers (similar to cedar trees). Endangered Caretta-Caretta turtles and several rare animals nest here, and it is strictly forbidden to remove any plants or animals from the area. Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, reminiscent of the Caribbean, are found on either side of the peninsula. In many places, the sand appears pinkish due to thousands of broken shells. Near the “splitting” point of the peninsula, the water is no deeper than 1 meter, creating a small lagoon ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon to reach the “island” with your belongings, as the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach is well-organized and the most crowded, featuring umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars, and changing rooms.
• Chania Town - Here, you can explore the beautiful city of Chania at your own pace. Visit the Chania Harbor and historic buildings showcasing Venetian and Turkish architectural styles. Stroll through the old town to see the Venetian Harbor and the Turkish Quarters. Enjoy a meal, relax with a drink, or browse the shops in the city.
