Well known for its beautiful pink sands, Elafonisi is a stunning beach located on the western side of Crete. It is certainly worth visiting on a day trip to see the beautiful turquoise waters and pink sand, and this post talks about how to get there, things to bear in...
During our three week holiday to Crete in 2021 (read some of our other blog posts from this trip here), inspired by stunning photos on social media, we decided to take a day trip to Gramvousa and Balos. There are two ways of getting there- either getting the boat from...
As part of our trip three week trip to Crete in 2021, we decided to spend the first week based in Chania to give us easy access to the western side of the island, including Balos, Elafonisi and Chania itself. Similar to previous trips, we hired a car as that made it...
