Stop At: Elafonissi Beach, Elafonissi, Crete Greece
Elafonissi is located 76km west of Chania in the southwestern most point of Crete. Elafonisi is an oblong, which often
"breaks" in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. Elafonissi is a “Natura 2000” protected area. The island is full of dunes with sand lilies and junipers (like-cedar trees). The endangered turtles Caretta-Caretta and several rare animals nest on the island and it is strictly forbidden to remove any
plants, animals from the area. Exotic beach with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed
on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells.
Near the “breaking" point of the peninsula, the water does not exceed 1m, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children.
The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people.

Plenty of places to stop and explore. Sights to see and local home grown delights to pick up on the way- honey, olive oil, Raki. And you are in control of the length of your time on the beach.

Loved it!Great value for the money. Good confort on the bus. Elafonisi was great, the restaurant chosen for the late lunch was okay. The tour guide made sure everyone was dropped off at their stop by annoucing us by name which I appreciated.
