About this experience
One of the three places where this trip will take you is a picturesque and hard-to-reach relaxation spot. You will see a trio of seas in the bay of Balos, sunbathe on the pink sand of Elafonissi beach, or swim admiring the palm trees of Vai. Wherever we go, you will enjoy panoramas and take the best photos, while I will fill the day with stories about Crete.
What to expect
Comfortable trip and island chronicles
With a small friendly group, we will head to remote and most beautiful points of Crete. On the way, you will admire the landscapes, and I will tell you about the island: its history, mythology, and geography, culture, traditions, and modern life. Of course, picturesque stops for photos are also waiting for you.
Places where the sea is the only way forward!
The main goal of this journey is to relax on the beaches and swim in the azure sea. Depending on the day of the excursion, you will find yourself in one of three corners, each enchanting with beauty and remoteness:
- Balos Bay — a place where three seas merge on the northwest of Crete with a cozy beach, lagoon, and uninhabited island of Gramvousa. Balos is protected by the state, as here you can see up to 17 shades of calm sea!
- Elafonissi — a wonderful beach with a 'kiss' of two seas and pink sand, where you will arrive after passing through the breathtaking gorge. Here you can have lunch in a colorful tavern and visit unique workshops.
- Vai Beach — the palm paradise of Europe, accessible through the most picturesque route: olive groves, ancient monastery, views of bays, and fishing villages.
Who is this excursion for
For families with children from 5 years old, groups of friends, couples, adventurers, and those who simply want to admire the beauty of Crete.
