Nothing to complain about the service from Cretan Odissey. It was impeccable. But the place itself isn’t worth the hype.. If you remove 75% people the place is paradisiac but with the crowds it loses the appeal. Plus it takes forever to reach on these winding roads. Not coming back.

Elafonisi was just as beautiful as we anticipated. However, we were informed by the guide that it was prohibited to eat during the bus ride, which is completely understandable, but both the tour guide and the bus driver were eating snacks, which was a little annoying since the drive was four hours long and we got quite hungry.

Elizabeth was a very nice tour guide. Unfortunately, 45 minutes after arriving to Elafonisi Beach it started raining and the decision was made to return home. The company Cretan Odyssey kindly refunded the full trip and apologised for the unfortunate weather. Despite our short time on the beach, it was beautiful and we took nice pictures. As for the van journey, there is not much room to sit comfortably if you are on the taller side like 6 feet plus as there is no space for your knees. The van stopped at a gas station half way through the journey there which was helpful to buy food, snacks, pastries, drinks at a very good price. We were told there is only one restaurant near the beach, so we were glad to stock up before arriving there.
