Overview

The tour to Elafonisi is once in a lifetime experience.
Elafonisi pink beach is a small paradise on earth! The crystal clear turquoise shallow waters combined with the thin white and coral-red sand create a landscape of unparalleled beauty!
On the route to Elafonisi, driving through small traditional villages and crossing the Topalian gorge longwise, we reach our first stop. The cave of Agia Sofia. A stunning natural monument with its stalactites, stalagmites and a small chapel at its entrance. You can explore this place for approximately 30 minutes. Then, our next destination is Elafonisi!
You are free to relax on the beach and enjoy the splendid surrounding environment. You can rent a sunbed & umbrella, walk towards the small island and swim in the beach’s crystal waters. There are plenty of water sports & activities you can do during your stay. On our way back, we make a stop at the village of Elos, where you can have dinner in the Cretan traditional tavern (optional).

    Topolia Gorge

    Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either side of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its colour from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the seawater does not exceed 1m in depth, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon in order to reach the opposite side of the peninsula while carrying your staff with you because the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people. There are umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars and changing rooms. Also, near the beach, there is a huge area for parking and, even further, a few rooms to let.
