Chania

Day Trips

It was a wonderfully memorable experience, our guide Thomas was super cool, and prepared us well for the day. Make sure your knees are in good shape, wear proper shoes that support your ankle, you will be glad you did, also knee support like knee sleeves might help. Have a hat for the last few km, it will get sunny and have swim gear for when you get to Agia Roumeli, it's a shame not to enjoy that blue water at the end. The ferry to Sougia will be the cherry on the cake, gorgeous 1h boat ride with superb sights of the mountains meeting the sea. The 1.5h drive back through the mountains is on very bendy mountain roads, so don't eat or drink too much before; it's about 50 min of non stop bends, if you're car sick be prepared. It will surely be a once in a lifetime experience, but it will totally be worth it, be prepared to be limping around for the next 3 days, it's no joke, your legs will feel this hike!

I absolutely recommend Elafonissi beach and I think that this is a must when you visit Crete. This tour helped me reach Elafonissi without a hassle as I don’t drive. Taking the public bus would have been an option but not sure where that drops us off. This tour drops you off right on the beach and the coach waits for you until it’s time to leave. Elena, our guide, was also very helpful giving us interesting facts about Crete. We had 4 hours to spend in the beach with a stopover for breakfast on the way. We started at 8am from central Chania and got back at around 19:30. I wish we could have spent more time in the beach as it is so beautiful. I was travelling solo and met a friend in this tour.
