Elafonisi Road Trip

In the southwestern part of the island one of the most beautiful and famous beaches in Greece is to be found. Elafonissi is a small island so close to the beach that one can actually walk there from the beach... The crystal clear turquoise shallow waters in combination with the thin white and coral-red sand create a landscape of unparalleled beauty!

The route to Elafonissi won't leave you disappointed. We pick you up with our 4X4 and our escort 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 cave with stalactites, stalagmites and a small chapel at its entrance.

After a short break we head to the convent of Chrysoskalitissa (Goldenstep)... The convent is built on top of a rock and offers a unique view to the sea. According to the myth surrounding the convent, one of the 90 steps leading up to it is made of gold (hence the name), but only those who haven't sinned are able to see it! We spend another twenty minutes there and our final destination is ... Elafonissi!

After reaching Elafonissi you are free to relax on the beach and enjoy the lovely scenery surrounding you. We stay on the beach for three hours. On our way back we make a stop at the village Milia , where you get the chance to dine and try Cretan dishes. Sometime later we head back to your base. Our trip has come to its end... we hope that you have enjoyed it.
