Description - What to expect
Chania to Elafonisi Tour ItineraryStop At: Elafonissi Beach
Off the southwestern tip of Crete, about 75 kilometers from Chania town, lies Elafonisi beach and a small island. It is within walking distance from the mainland, sometimes without even getting one’s toes wet. Pirates once used it to hide their loot and that is how it got its name. The island (about 1.3 km long and 400 meters wide) is a protected nature reserve and boasts one of the finest sand beaches in the country. Blindingly white-pink sand, turquoise-white lagoon-like waters that ripple as they pick up the breeze, an exotic place with sporadic vegetation against the stark bareness of the Cretan mountains is what you will see. You get also discover numerous small coves, sandy beaches, and interesting rock formations. Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: Falassarna Beach
Falasarna beach is located in the western part of Crete, about 53 km from the town of Chania and 13 km from the town of Kissamos. Quite popular with day-trippers, its stunning beaches and clear turquoise blue sea is unique. The beach has received many awards for its beauty, amenities, and services enjoyed by visitor. The long sandy beach is one of its most important advantages, as it offers the chance to the visitors to enjoy it, even in the high season period. Swimming in the crystal clear turquoise waters of the beach will make anyone feel the ultimate pleasure. Its beach is fully organized with umbrellas and sunbeds in its biggest part. However, there are several free spots for those who prefer to put their own umbrella and towel on the sand. Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: The Monumental Olive Tree of Vouves
The Olive tree of Vouves is probably one of the oldest olive trees in the world, which remains productive to this day. The exact age of the tree cannot be determined. While tree ring analysis demonstrated the tree to be at least 2000 years old, scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be 4000 years old. In 1997 it was declared a protected natural monument and, in October 2009, the Olive Tree Museum of Vouves was inaugurated in a nearby 19th-century house, displaying traditional tools used in the process of olive cultivation. As of the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, olive branches “kotinos” from this ancient olive tree were used for the wreath of Marathon winners in every Olympic game. Duration: 1 hour
