Take advantage of a complimentary round-trip transfer from your accommodation, allowing ample time for leisurely exploration throughout the island. Additionally, make a pitstop at Elos to peruse local culinary offerings.
To relax on Elafonisi Beach, approximately 76 kilometers west of Chania on Crete's southwestern coast, guests are invited to depart their accommodations and embark upon an excursion. Upon arrival, they will be transported back to safety, allowing ample free time to explore the island. A detour to Elos offers the opportunity to sample authentic local cuisine while enjoying a leisurely meal.
Upon departure, travelers may pause briefly to savor a cup of coffee en route to Elafonisi. As they reach the destination, they will be greeted by the picturesque dune landscape featuring sand lilies and junipers. Alongside these natural beauties, numerous secluded beaches dot the peninsula, characterized by their distinctive pink sands, primarily resulting from countless discarded seashells.
For families traveling with children, the southeastern end of the peninsula presents a serene spot suitable for swimming and sunbathing within the confines of a shallow lagoon. This area features amenities such as umbrellas, showers, lifeguard services, snack bars, and changing facilities.
The journey concludes with a return trip to the traditional village of Elos, where visitors have the option to indulge in a delightful traditional lunch before resuming their journey back to Chania, ultimately arriving at their designated hotel location.
