Very nice trip. The beach is of course full of people (but you know that), but it pays to go further and experience the water on the other side of the small island. Very beautiful. The bus trip itself with associated stops in good places is fantastic. A very knowledgeable guide who explained well along the way.

Elafonisi was gorgeous and the trip was well organised with a very good tour guide. The only downside was that the mini bus was very tight, I'm only 5'6" so not especially tall but my knees were squashed against the seat in front and it's a fairly long journey. It wasn't very comfortable.

A trip was amazing, tour guide Edit was also interesting, funny and friendly. I didn't notice how quickly the time went by although we didn't have much stop points. Firstly it seemed what to do on the beach for 4 hours? But then I saw that I didn't have time even to visit island. There was a little bit windy day but it's better than a hot day without any wind.
