Qué te espera

El islote deshabitado de Elafonisi, en el suroeste de Creta, rebosa belleza natural y riqueza cultural. El desfiladero de Topolia, la cueva de Agia Sophia, el monasterio de Chrissoskalitissa y una playa que muchos consideran la mejor de la isla son algunas de las estrellas de esta excursión de un día. Rena, una de nuestras guías locales, afirma: "Esta excursión combina lo mejor del altiplano cretense con la idílica playa de arena rosa de Elafonisi, en la costa sur".

El día comienza de forma relajada, con una parada para tomar un café en una taberna familiar de la aldea agrícola de Voulgaro. Desde aquí, nos espera un espectacular viaje hacia el sur a través del desfiladero de Topolia. Las vistas del profundo barranco a su izquierda son épicas. A continuación visitaremos la cueva de Agia Sophia, famosa por sus estalactitas. Vinculadas a diversas leyendas, se dice que aquí se encuentra la huella de la pezuña del caballo de San Jorge. Y si se fija bien, encontrará lo que parece una huella de herradura en una roca.

A continuación, el monasterio de Chrissoskalitissa. Construido sobre una colina con vistas a la costa, este refugio de 1.000 años de antigüedad ofrece un encanto intemporal. Su nombre significa "escalones dorados" y está impregnado de mitos. Según algunos, uno de los escalones es dorado, pero sólo es visible para los religiosos. La última escala es de postal. Rena dice: "Se puede llegar al islote de Elafonisi caminando por un tramo de agua poco profunda desde la playa de Elafonisi". Pase la tarde nadando, relajándose y disfrutando de las vistas de primera categoría, y luego terminaremos el día en el pueblo pesquero de Paleochora.

    Der Ausflug nach Elafonisi Island hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Fahrt durch das Landesinnere mit den vielen Olivenbäumen und den wechselnden Landschaften hat uns beeindruckt. Ein toller Tag.

    I went away with my partner and this whole day overed things my partner wanted to do and myself, it was defiantly value for money, it was an amazing experience, the views, cave, beach, even the tour guild was so lovely and helpful. I would defiantly recommend this trip. There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy, I did not expect the stairs to the caves but the views were amazing and you don't have to go up to the Caves there was a beautiful cafe also.

    The stop overs were great but more time should be allocated to visit the cave and the monastery, as we felt rushed and at times not had enough time to use the toilets. The cave was an eye opener and walk up was scenic but challenging as not everyone has so much stamina or may have minor physical impairments and not able to rush. The beach visit was great. In general a great day out including the olive oli tasting though a tad disappointed as we had hoped to have a glimpse of Olive oil production

    Les sites sont bien sûr très beaux et intéressants . Mais les visites sont très rapides et très peu commentées. Un quart d'heure de plus sur chaque site tels les grottes et monastère aurait été appréciable. Le premier arrêt au café n'est pas utile voir très nul. Boissons hors de prix et jus allongé à l'eau . Sur la plage pas tellement rose , trop de temps. J'aurais aimé plus de temps dans la dernière ville

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
