Activity description

Explore the tiny and beautiful Elafonisi island close to Crete with a sea kayak excursion! 

Location
Located 75 km from Chania Elafonisi is a tiny island, divided from the Cretan shore by a lagoon. There are only a small number of pink beaches scattered throughout the world. They owe their exquisite color to tiny oysters named Foraminifera, which are red shells that are crushed in the sand, giving it a pink color.

Program
We set off from Kissamos and drive on scenic coastal roads for approximately an hour. We get to a pebbly beach where we leave land and launch for our adventure.

We take advantage of the sit-on-tops and jump in the blue element. We put our masks and snorkels and go in the calm sea coastal lakes, or we dive in the shallow turquoise waters among the maze of rocks. And when we get near Elafonissi we can swim in the colorful sheltered lagoon.

We land in Elafonissi, walk on the pink-sand shores and snack in the shade of the juniper trees among the sand dunes before driving back home.

Kayaking, swimming, and snorkelling with Manu and Fiona from Fit in Crete was the highlight of our trip! They are really genuine, lovely, and comfortable people - we enjoyed talking to them on the way to the beach, learning about their way of life (made us want to move to Greece and kayak hahaha)! They are very thoughtful and prepared neoprene tops for us and also lent us thin long-sleeved tops. They are experienced and looked out for me when I felt cold in the water and Fiona was really nice to come with me to shore to warm up. Most importantly, Manu and Fiona were very patient and did not rush us and that was key to a lovely and relaxing day. The waters were so beautiful (clearest waters we have ever seen!) and we had a great time. We can’t recommend this activity enough. Thanks Manu and Fiona 🙂
