Qué esperar

The uninhabited islet of Elafonisi in southwestern Crete is bursting with natural beauty and cultural riches. Topolia Gorge, Agia Sophia Cave, Chrissoskalitissa Monastery and a beach many consider the best on the island are among the star turns of this day trip. Rena, one of our local guides, says, ‘This tour combines the best of the Cretan highlands with the idyllic pink-sand beach of Elafonisi on the south coast.'It's a laidback start to the day, with a pit stop for coffee in a family-run taverna in the farming hamlet of Voulgaro. From here, a dramatic drive south through the Topolia Gorge awaits. The views on the deep ravine to your left are epic. We'll then visit the cave of Agia Sophia, which is famed for its stalactites. Linked to a variety of legends, it's said that the hoof print of St George's horse can be found here. And if you look hard enough, you'll find what looks like a horseshoe print in a rock.Next up is the Chrissoskalitissa Monastery. Built on a hill overlooking the coastline, this 1,000-year-old retreat offers timeless charm. Its name means ‘golden steps' and it's steeped in myth. According to some, one of the steps is golden – but is only visible to the religious. The last port of call is nothing short of postcard-perfect. Rena says: ‘You can reach Elafonisi islet walking through a shallow stretch of water from Elafonisi beach.' Spend the afternoon swimming, relaxing and taking in the top-tier views, then we'll finish the day at Paleochora fishing village.

Kaffeepause inklusive. Wir hatten nur ein Häppchen und leider keinen Kaffee oder Getränk. Nirgends eine Führung. Nur Erklärung im Bus. Elefanosi war zu kurz. Das Fischerdorf hätte man sich dafür sparen können. Alle sind ziellos herumgelaufen.

My partner and I loved the bus tour in Crete. It was diverse and engaging, with a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. The commentary was clear, interesting, and funny. Our guide, Maria, was friendly, open, and relaxed, adding a special touch to the experience. The transport from the pickup point was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, it was a fantastic, well-organized, and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Crete.

Dies war ein toller Ausflug. Die Reiseleiterin Justyna hat viel Interessantes über die Ausflugsziele und die Umgebung erzählt und wir haben uns gut betreut gefühlt. Elafonisi ist ein Traum.

Der Ausflug war nicht wie angegeben auf deutsch geführt sondern in englischer Sprache. Zu lange Busfahrten - bis auf den Halt in Elafonissi dauerten die Stopps nur 20 - 30 Minuten. Tour dauerte länger als angegeben (10 Stunden)
