The route to Elafonisi won’t disappoint you. Our bus and escort will pick you up from your hotel or a location in its vicinity. Driving through small traditional villages and crossing the Topolian gorge longwise, we reach our first stop.  The cave of Agia Sofia. A stunning natural monument with its stalactites, stalagmites and a small chapel at its entrance. You can explore this place for approximately 30 minutes. Then, our next destination is Elafonisi!

You are free to relax on the beach and enjoy the splendid surrounding environment for three hours. You can rent a sunbed & umbrella, walk towards the small island and swim in the beach’s crystal waters. There are plenty of water sports & activities you can do during your stay. On our way back, we make a stop at the village Elos, where you get the chance to dine in the traditional tavern and try Cretan delicacies (optional). Sometime later, we head back to your base. Our trip has come to its end we hope you enjoyed it!

However, our tours appeal to a wide range of travellers, most of whom share an adventurous spirit and a desire to experience these destinations at a grass-roots level. Our tours are conducted in English and so they attract many travellers from North America, UK, Australia and Europe

The availability listed on our website is updated every minute however on some tours we must confirm arrangements with our people on the ground, a process which usually takes no more than 24 hours. When you book online you will receive a follow-up email confirming your arrangements or a timeframe for when they will be confirmed.

The security that comes from knowing your trip is locked-in is a feeling that can’t be topped. We like that feeling – so much, so that we figured everyone should have it.

As you can expect some landmarks take more time to get to on coach tours and some are more time-consuming than others. With this in mind, we have no set time for the exploration of each attraction. Our tour guides are trained to watch how their group progresses at each landmark and they adjust each tour accordingly. You should keep in mind that some tours cover three landmarks over a single day, so there are a limited number of hours in which to do a lot of sightseeing. Consequently, you may not have an extensive amount of time to spend at each attraction.

You could lose your seat to a walk-up passenger. We encourage you to arrive at the pickup point a minimum of 15 minutes before departure. Once on the tour, your guide or driver will give you a time that the coach will depart each location. You must be at the coach at least five minutes before this time. If you are late and miss the time given, the coach will depart without you in order to not keep the other passengers waiting. If you are in any doubt about a departure time whilst on your tour, you must ask the guide or driver.

Any items we find on our coaches are taken to our office at Episkopou Chrysanthou 37 str. Chania old town and are kept there for 72 hours before being destroyed or given to charity. Please call our office on +30 28210 43243 for any lost items.
