Excellent day - Great day with enough time on the beach to enjoy it and have lunch. The journey is a little long but more comfortable than with a rental car in our opinion, the guide (Elisabeth) was perfect.

Ride to paradise with Cretan Odyssey - 5 star experience. Elisabetta, the guide, was able to share her knowledge and passion for this island that adopted her 28 year ago. Was a pleasure to hear from her!
Special thanks to the staff “behind the scenes”, always available to assist in timely manner.
Last but not list, Nikos was a special driver: he drive us through the smallest tunnel in the island.
Elafonissi is a real paradise on earth, we’ll be back.
Thank you Cretan Odyssey!

Definitely worth it! - The winding roads and driving on the edge of a cliff made the bus tour quite thrilling! Then you see the beautiful beach with endless shallow and clear waters. Just amazing!

Tour to Elafonisi - Long drive across Crete with an experienced driver.
But it's definitely worth it; a wonderful, clean beach, crystal clear water, surrounded by a clean, well-kept nature reserve. An experience!
