Wonderful guide, beautiful scenery
mlaurelm, 09-05-2022
We ended up booking this private tour after a group tour operator cancelled on us - I'm glad it ended up this way! It was nice to have the flexibility and comfort of a private tour. Agnes was a great guide - lots of information about the region and wonderful stories. We did a few stops on the way to the beach - all lovely places. It was nice to see the countryside and learn some of the island's history. The beach itself? Beautiful. It was cold, so there wasn't much swimming but the time still flew by!

Private tour

We got this tour as we like to travel on our own time schedule. To stop where we want and for how long as we want. Our tour guide Genadius was very thoughtful of bringing as beach mats and umbrellas. We never even though about them. He was very flexible, fun and reliable person. Always attending when you need him but giving you your personal space at the same time. He had great humour and told us many interesting facts about Greece. We spend whole day together and I didn't get tired of him even once.
Great day at Elafonisi and Falasarna

We went on a private tour to Elafonisi and Falasarna. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The guide and driver was very professional, friendly and attentive. We felt really looked after. On this tour there is something for every taste: picturesque gorges and incredible views of the mountains, a church hidden in the cave, charismatic locals selling honey and olive oil, incredible beaches with azure waters and pink sand. It was great to travel at our own pace and all our wishes were taken into account. I highly recommend this travel agency. It was a day to remember and I'm looking forward to coming back!
TOUR FROM PLATANIAS TO ELAFONISI BEACH
Finn F, 15-09-2019
A tour to Elafonisi beach is a must. Driving from Platanias through the small villages, over the mountain through the canyon is such a special experience. Elafonisi beach is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The water is as clear as bottled water you buy in the stores. A percious place.
