Highlights
  • Topolia Gorge - Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either side of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its colour from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the seawater does not exceed 1m in depth, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon in order to reach the opposite side of the peninsula while carrying your staff with you because the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people. There are umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars and changing rooms. Also, near the beach, there is a huge area for parking and, even further, a few rooms to let.
What's Included
  • Private transportation
  • On-board WiFi

Additional Information

A journey to Elafonisi offers an unforgettable adventure. The miniature bliss known as Elafonisi pink beach stands out for its dazzling beauty, adorned by clear emerald shallow waters and a unique blend of fine white and coral-red sands!
On the way to Elafonisi, we traverse through quaint traditional hamlets and longitudinally navigate the Topalian gorge, ultimately reaching our initial halt - the Agia Sofia cave. This stunning testament to nature, with its stalactites, stalagmites, and tiny chapel at the entrance will fill you with awe during the 30-minute approx exploration. Next, we set off to Elafonisi!
Feel free to idle on the beach, soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. The option to hire a sun-bed & umbrella, stroll towards the small island, or dive into the beach’s crystalline waters is up to you.

Before heading back, we make a pitstop at Elos village, offering you the chance to savor dinner at a traditional Cretan tavern (optional).

Lovely day trip to Knossos - My son and I made a last minute decision to go to Knossos from our rental near Chania We were so fortunate to use Crete Trannsfers. We had a beautiful drive where we could actually look at the scenery and were dropped at Knossos and picked up promptly when we let the driver know we were finished. We stopped for dinner on the way back in Reythmeno at a lovely taverna Our experience was first rate from the vehicle to the knowledgeable drivers. This was a great choice.
