A great way to see a little bit of Crete. Our driver was very knowledgeable during our drive to the beach. Elafonisi beach was beautiful and enough time was spent there to be able to relax and explore the sea (loungers were reserved for us). The meal we then had at Milia Mountain Retreat was lovely, we had a variety of dishes to try between us, all of which were tasty, the local beer was great too! We were back at our hotel by about 4.30pm so not too long of a day either, money well spent!

Our guide, Nick, was wonderful! He was sweet and informative and a pleasure to spend our day with! The beach is a must see. What made this trip so much better than others is that they give you an early start and when you arrive they have lounge chairs and umbrellas waiting. I had no idea what a big peek this is- but there are literally thousands of people there and probably 50 chairs, so to have them reserved for you is huge. I felt famous. The lunch was super unique and delicious, but know that it’s a windy mountain road so pack your Dramamine if needed. It was a wonderful day, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great adventure from Chania.

We really enjoyed our tour experience. Our tour guide, Nikolas, was very engaging and knowledgeable. He even played quiz games along the way which made things more entertaining. Our time at Elafonisi beach was very nice followed by a trek into the mountains (not for the faint of heart) to enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch. Overall amazing day!

We had such a wonderful time at Elafonisi beach! Vassilis was amazing—so knowledgeable and charismatic. The drive to Milia Mountain was absolutely stunning, and the food was simply delicious. I really think this is an excursion you shouldn’t miss!

Th tour was great - glad an experienced driver took us on this excursion! The beach was beautiful and fun to visit but the highlight of the day was the restauant at Milia Mountain Retreat! Our guide told us lots of cool things and saved us from driving those roads! It was a fun way to see different sides of Crete!
