Elafonisi is a peninsula that is often divided into two parts by water, creating the illusion of being its own separate island. It boasts distinctive features such as an exotic beach with pristine white sand and dazzling turquoise waters, reminiscent of the Caribbean. The sand on the beach takes on a pinkish hue in many areas, owing to the millions of crushed shells that contribute to its coloration.
The tour to Elafonisi offers a unique combination of activities, including a visit to a picturesque and ancient monastery, a beach excursion, and a scenic drive through diverse landscapes. Additionally, the tour allows for customization based on the preferences of the customers, providing them with the opportunity to savor authentic Cretan cuisine and create a personalized experience.

Crete was beautiful!! Thanks to our guide Yiannis for showing us all around his home island. We got to ride all through the countryside and saw sooooo many olive trees (Crete has 34 million🤯), goats, sheep, fig trees and donkeys. We also saw several cats, which Robert Berry was thrilled at😂. We went to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Elafonisi beach has millions of tiny pink sea shells making the sand look pink and there is crystal clear blue water. We went to a Monastery on the top of a mountain and the rode for a couple hours to a seafood restaurant right in the waterfront. I had a grouper grilled over charcoals (it was just caught a few hours before we arrived), John Robert had lamb chops, Robert Berry had the fried baby shrimp(with heads and tails still attached😱) and Juleigh Vena had a hamburger 😂. It was so good!! The restaurant brought me a freshly caught cuttlefish to try. Then some Greek donut holes with honey and cinnamon on them (can’t remember the name). We were worn out and came back to the boat full of food and memories. ❤️

We were a group of 4 females on this tour. Yiannis was a wonderful guide. We started with the pink beach, then a private cozy cove, followed by a drive through the mountains. He gives you clear options to tailor the experience to what you would want to do. I would suggest some form of swimming shoes for the private cove, as the rocks could be tricky getting in. He provides towels, snorkeling equipment, water/soda. He is very a knowledgeable regarding the area. We even saw his cousin briefly! I absolutely would recommend using him if you want a quality tour!
