Elafonisi — Rose-Tinted Sands

Duration: Full Day (up to 10 hrs)

Trip Description

Famous for its rose-tinted sands, Elafonisi beach is nothing short of paradise on earth! Don't miss the chance to take in its breathtaking beauty and take a dip in its warm, gentle waters. Yet our programme has more in store than Elafonisi alone.

Winding through picturesque gorges, past olive and orange groves and through characterful mountain villages, we will make our way to the shores of western Crete, where the magnificent Monastery of Chrysoskalitissa (Golden Steps) stands in serene splendour. Climbing its legendary stairway, you will be rewarded with the sight of the miraculous icon of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
