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 is quite as rewarding as a tailored & stress-free escape for 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 in the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle.
This is your relaxation rhythm. Take things slower, breathe deep & luxuriate in your freedom.

I am a 46-year veteran travel agent and I find taking a private tour makes the most of you valuable vacationing time and allows you to see the highlights at your own pace. Dimitrios was a fantastic driver. He was courteous, helpful, and made us feel safe. He was very knowledgeable about the area and provided interesting information about both the natural and historical locations. The restaurant he suggested for lunch was straight out of a magazine. We loved every minute and I highly recommend this tour.

Nikos was a fantastic guide. He taught us so much about the history and culture of Crete while we were on our day trip. Elafonisi Beach is crowded as mentioned in most reviews, but still worth seeing. The water is calm and shallow which was perfect for kids to play in. This is a really nice way to see parts of Crete outside of the city. Nikos took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Perfect trip wtih Snami travel. Our driver/guide Nicos was absolutely wonderful! He was punctual, knowlegable, super pleasant and created a perfect day for us. Just some personal touches, such as home grown bananas, variety of loukomades and all beverages possible for the beach trip made such a difference. We also learned so much about Crete! , After the trip to Elafonisi, we we taken to the wonderful village restaurant in the mountains where we enjoyed authentic Cretan lunch, which was probably one of the best ones we had during the whole 18 days of vacation in Greece. I highly recomment any tours that Snami travel offers.

Don’t hesitate to book your activity to Elafonisi beach with Snami Travel. The driver Dimitrios was very kind, respectful and interesting. He was also driving carefully, was always on time and accomodated us the best he can. The mini buses are ultra clean and in good conditions. We stop for lunch on the way back at a local restaurant suggested by Dimitrios and it was really good.

This could not have made our trip easier. Just note that the pink beach is 1.5 hours away. We decided to skip this and our guide gave us a wonderful day, seeing a lot of highlights, recommending fantastic food, etc! Highly recommend this for groups or families. This made our limited time in Crete amazing!

Magical. Rejuvenating. Relaxing. Fun! The waters of Elofinisi and Falassarna were stunning. Both different. Both special. Not not to be missed. Again, Alexander is an amazing guide. Full of amazing stories and adventures

We had a great day trip with our driver/guide, Dimitrios. It was a long drive from our hotel in Heraklion but Dimitrios made it interesting by explaining cool facts and sights along the way. Our visit to Elafonisi beach was short (only 1.5 hours) but it was truly a beautiful beach with a sandbar that was perfect for the kids. We stopped at a perfect local restaurant for a late lunch on the way home and the food was delicious. We even tried and bought chestnut liquor which was made in house. Overall, it was a great day—while the drive was long, the sights along the way and the beach were worth it.
