Discover Crete's Coastal Gems: Elafonisi & Falasarna Day Trip
Overview
Discover two of Crete’s most stunning beaches in one unforgettable day—Elafonisi and Falasarna, known for their pink sands, turquoise waters, and breathtaking landscapes. This private tour offers a stress-free experience, allowing you to explore Crete’s coastal beauty without worrying about navigating busy roads or crowded parking.
We’ll start early to avoid some of the crowds, but these beaches are popular, so be prepared. You’ll have about 2 hours at each beach to swim, sunbathe, and explore at your own pace.
After a scenic drive through Crete’s countryside, we’ll arrive at Elafonisi, a protected natural wonder. Later, we’ll continue to Falasarna, where you can unwind on golden sands and swim in crystal-clear waters.
Enjoy Cretan snacks, fresh water, and towels provided for your comfort. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with a friendly local driver-guide. Bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, and beach vibes—we’ll take care of the rest!
