Χανιά – Ρέθυμνο – Άγιος Νικόλαος, Κρήτη Barefoot Πακέτο

Falassarna Beach is one of the best beaches of Crete located in a beautiful fertile plane near the village of Platanos and 58 km west of Chania town. It consists of pure and soft golden sand and incredible clean and turquoise waters. A few umbrellas and sun beds can be found along the beach. Falassarna is truly an idyllic and quiet place and has been declared as one of the cleanest beaches in Greece. During windy days it is better to avoid swimming. From the beach the view is astonishing, and the sunsets are magical. A few local taverns with great food can be found in the surrounding area.

Get back to nature on a day trip from Chania. Spend a relaxing day at Elafonisi beach (or Elafonissos), which means the Island of Deer in Greek language. Is a small islet connected to the rest of Crete by a shallow reef that can be crossed when the sea is calm. This islet lies 82 km northwest of Chania town and can be reached by boat from Paleochora or by car from the village of Vathi, until a point and then cross the reef. It is like paradise on earth and has a wonderful beach with pink coral sand and crystalline waters. It is considered as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. This magical place was deserted for a long time but now it has become a popular sight and can get crowded during the high summer season. It has been listed as a special environmental region and it is protected by an environmental program under the EU. Get at least 4 hours to relax, swim in the crystal clear water and soak up the sun on this paradise beach. Saunter in the sun, or go for a walk along the pink sand beach. There are beach kiosks around, where you can buy some food and water. Elafonisi island can be reached by walking through the water. The beach and the island are protected wildlife areas of rare beauty. Pick up is offered.

This coast has four sheltered beaches, all sandy and with green-grey crystal waters and a small harbour. For lovers of water-sports, Bali also has a diving school. The beach you encounter when entering Bali is the largest of all. It is well-equipped and attracts a large crowd in the summer. The second beach lies a little bit to the east; however, it hasn’t got any infrastructure and therefore fewer visitors. The third beach is small and sheltered, with sand and clear waters, it used to be unorganized but now has lovely fresh-fish taverns as well as hotels and apartments to rent all around. You will also find the small port and the fourth beach which is the most scenic of all, organized, with umbrellas and sunbeds.

A unique day tour to immerse into the Cretan culture, history, stunning escapes and the authentic Cretan local lifestyle. You will visit the world-famous Palace of Knossos. Be carried back to Minoan times as you walk around the Palace, gaze the intricate frescoes and the architecture. Feel the local culture in the narrow streets of Heraklion’s Old Town and explore the port and the Archaeological Museum. Hotel pick up and drop off are offered.
