Allcretetours · Rethymno or Chania pickup
The simplest way to Elafonisi at the lowest price on this site: hotel pickup in Rethymno or Chania, a guide and a professional driver on the mountain road through the Topolia Gorge, and about four hours on the beach. Pick it if you want the lagoon without driving and without paying for extras you will not use.

Allcretetours collects you from your hotel in Rethymno or Chania. You do not need to pick a meeting point in advance: your ticket with the final pickup time and place arrives one day before the tour. The bus crosses the countryside of western Crete and climbs through the Topolia Gorge, with its rock walls and villages, while a local driver deals with the winding roads and a guide tells you about the island.
At the beach you get free time of about 4 hours. Swim, sunbathe, walk through the shallow lagoon to the island or follow the shore to the pink-tinted sand at the water's edge. Guests describe a coffee stop on the way out and another stop for a late lunch or a snack on the way back, both at their own cost. The full day takes about 10 hours.
The price covers hotel pickup and drop-off, the guide and the driver. Food, drinks and sunbeds are not included, which is why the price is low. A friendly tip: the listing asks you to bring comfortable shoes, a hat, a towel, water and a change of clothes for the ride home, and that list is right.
