It was such a long drive...

Dawn_Z, Jul 2025

It was such a long drive to beach and back to port, and we were underwhelmed by the beach itself. We felt like our time could have been better spent. We did enjoy a delicious lunch at the beachside cafe.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really happy you enjoyed the delicious lunch by the sea. The beachside tavernas at Elafonisi always bring a special local touch. We understand that the drive can feel long. Elafonisi is one of Crete’s most remote beaches, and its beauty lies in that wild, untouched setting. Unfortunately, the distance is simply part of reaching such a unique corner of the island, and we always try to make the journey as smooth and comfortable as possible. Regarding your comment about the beach being “underwhelming” — we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations. Elafonisi is often praised for its pink sands, shallow lagoons, and natural scenery, but of course, everyone experiences places differently. If you have more specific feedback, we’d love to hear it — your input helps us better understand how to guide future guests. Thanks again for traveling with us. We’d love to have you join another tour in the future and show you a different side of Crete that may be more your style! Warm regards, Iakovos Heliophilia Crete

Our Heliophilia tour guide, Jacob, was outstanding. He made our first day so fun that we ended up booking tours with him for the 2 following days we were there. His knowledge of Crete was excellent and he took us to eat at places with honestly some of the best food I have ever eaten. I highly recomend their tours.
