Chania: Elafonissi Beach, Winery, & Monastery Day Trip Tour｜Greece

Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel or an agreed meeting point in Chania. Travel in a First Class Mercedes V-Class Van and enjoy a relaxing drive to your first stop, Topolia Gorge. Take a short break for coffee, rest, and photos at the gorge, one of the most impressive natural landscapes in the area.

Continue to Elafonissi Beach, where you'll have 3–4 hours of free time to swim in the shallow turquoise waters, walk to the small island, or relax under the sun in a unique natural setting.

Next, head to the Pnevmatikakis Winery near Kissamos for a food and wine experience. Taste local culinary products such as olive oil, olives, cheese, honey, and other regional delicacies. Learn about Cretan winemaking traditions, see parts of the winery and vineyard, and discover the production process. Enjoy a wine tasting session featuring several locally produced Cretan varietals paired with small bites or accompaniments.

Visit the Ancient Olive Tree of Vouves, one of the oldest known olive trees in the world (est. 3,000 – 5,000 years old). Then, make a short visit to the impressive Chrysoskalitissa Monastery, offering panoramic views over the Libyan Sea.

After your swimming tour, stop at a rated restaurant of your choice to taste authentic Greek cuisine. Return to Chania in the late afternoon.
