A great way to spend a few hours at Elafonisi and learn more about Crete! - Dimitri, Georgos, and Eva make a great team! While you can take local buses to Elafonisi if you just need transportation, this is a great way to learn a lot about Crete and its rich history. Dimitri has unabashedly strong opinions and he calls it like it is, but that's what makes him so informative and entertaining! The one thing I'd say is the stop to Elos village could probably be done away with.

Great beach with surprise guide - Beach tour with a wonderful informative guide Demetri who really bought the history of Crete to life during our ride to the beach. Explained every day life, plants, products etc. Stop for lunch at a mountain village 600 meters above sea level for roasted goat with potatoes. Delicious! This tour was a surprise due to the guide, though it was just a ride to the beach, however turned out to be one of the best tours. Of course the beach is all they say it is with the pink sand and different color waters. Beautiful

Nice and helpful staff, but the excursion is too ”old school” - The staff was super sweet and helpful (good at their jobs), however there was way too much talking from the guide in the bus. Would have been better with 80% less information given in the bus. Also, would have been way better to drive straight home (no stop at Elos village, which is nothing to see and just bad over-priced food).

Ok - It's a nice beach, but wery crowded. The bus tour was nice, the tour guide shared information and that was ok. Sometimes his humor was a bit too much - especially his jokes when he made fun of different things, which won't be funny for other people. Good pick up service and nice driver.
