Why visit Elafonisi

Elafonisi sits on the far south-west corner of Crete and is famous for its shallow turquoise lagoon and pink-tinged sand. The shallow water and soft sandbars make it a favourite for families and couples looking for a relaxed full beach day rather than a short stop.

Long-distance day trip — what to expect

Because the route crosses the island from the Hersonissos area, this excursion is built as a full beach day, with the majority of the time spent at Elafonisi itself. Pickups are early. Bring swimwear, towel, hat, sun protection and comfortable shoes.

Pickup areas

Hotel pickup from Hersonissos, Malia, Stalis, Anissaras, Analipsi, Gouves and the Heraklion area. TouristLine confirms exact pickup point and time after booking.
