About this guide

ElafonissiBeachTours.com is a guide to day trips to Elafonisi beach in south-west Crete: coach days from Chania, Rethymno and Heraklion, small groups, private vans, catamarans from Paleochora, and the rules of the protected beach. We are not a tour operator, the Region of Crete or GetYourGuide: the site name describes what we write about.

Facts here are checked against official sources (the Region of Crete, the Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency, the Municipality of Kissamos, KTEL Chania-Rethymno) and the tour listings on GetYourGuide, including recent guest reviews. Prices, departure times and seasons change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our editors pick the tours on what suits which visitor. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
