Frequently asked questions
Can I do Elafonisi as a day trip from Plakias?
Yes — we recommend a 7am departure to arrive before the main crowds and return by 3–4pm.
Why is Elafonisi so far from Plakias?
Elafonisi is at the far south-west tip of Crete — it's a committed day trip at 120 km each way.
Will you wait for us at Elafonisi?
We can wait (half-day rate applies) or return at a set time — your choice.
Can we stop at Kedrodasos forest on the way?
Yes — it's nearby and worth a quick look. Just let us know in the notes.
Is Elafonisi beach actually pink?
Yes — tiny fragments of pink shell mix with white sand to give it a rosy hue, especially near the lagoon edges.
