Elafonisi

Tour Overview

Have you ever been to dreamland?

Crystal clear turquoise waters in combination with thin white and pink coral sand, create a landscape of exceptional beauty in the west coast of Crete. Elafonisi (Island of Deer) is a small island so close to the beach that one can actually walk there, since the water is very shallow. The area is protected by the environmental network Natura 2000 with millions of visitors every year. Just a few miles before, you should plan to make a stop at the “Chrysoskalitisa Monastery”, where according to tradition one of its 90 steps is made of gold and is visible only to those who are really faithful. A piece of heaven for everyone!
