Elafonisi Excursion from Heraklion

This is an excursion to Elafonisi you do not want to miss!

Up to the south-westernmost point of the island, in one of the most spectacular and unexpected locations on the island is where we will spend the day. Elafonisi is a place of exceptional natural beauty, something between an island and a peninsula, as you have to walk through the sea to reach it.

Once occupied by pirates, today it is a very popular destination for day trippers who flood there to faraway lagoon, whilst having a Mediterranean holiday.
Elafonisi is a paradise on earth – a heaven of unparalleled beauty. It is covered with sand dunes, low trees, bushes, sand lilies and junipers. You can get there on foot from the beach by passing through shallow aquamarine and turquoise waters. The white and pink sand made of thousands of broken seashells, the limpid blue-green waters, the little coves and the secluded tiny beaches remind the travelers of a paradise lost.

Take a swim in the warm tropical waters and relax under the hot summer sun!

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience during our excursion to Elafonisi Island, we recommend bringing appropriate footwear for the beach and the sea, as well as sun protection and a hat to shield yourself from the sun’s rays. Don’t forget to pack your favorite pair of water shoes or sandals, as the island’s pink sand can get hot! Additionally, protecting your skin from the sun is crucial, so we suggest bringing a high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day.
