Elafonisi

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Elafonisi as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Elafonisi is located 76km west of Chania and 5km south of Chrysoskalitisa Monastery, in the southwestern-most tip of Crete. Elafonisi is such a wonderful and beautiful place that even if you are there, standing at the beach, you cannot believe its unique beauty.

Elafonisi consists of a small islet and a lot of beaches with white and pink sand, so astonishing that you feel like they jumped from a well-montaged photo. The Island is a protected nature reserve and it is not allowed to take any plants, shells or even sand. You can get to the islet on foot because the waters are shallow, sometimes without even getting your toes wet, and therefore is ideal for families with small children, although it gets very busy during summertime. It is named after the word "Elafi", which means deer in Greek because people years ago discovered that you can get easily to the islet on foot like a deer that walked to it.

The island is full of sandbanks with sea daffodils and junipers. The rare loggerhead sea turtle and several rarer animals and plants find shelter on the island. Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either side of the peninsula. Some beach bars work next to the beach and you can also find umbrellas and sunbeds. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its colour from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the sea water does not exceed 1m in depth, creating a small lagoon.

Its beauty will get you astonished and as many visitors say, it feels like a lost paradise on earth.

Heraklion International Airport, "Nikos Kazantzakis" is the primary airport on the island of Crete and the country’s second busiest airport after Athens International Airport. It is located about 5 km east of the main city center of Heraklion, near the municipality of Nea Alikarnassos. It is a shared civil/military facility.

The airport took its name after the Cretan native and most famous Heraklion resident Nikos Kazantzakis, who left his mark in Greek history as a novelist and philosopher. Heraklion Airport is Crete's largest and busiest airport, also serving as a connection between Agios Nikolaos, Malia, Hersonissos, Stalida, Elounda and other resort towns. The airport has been operating since the late 30s and its annual number of passengers is approximately 5 million. The airport serves both domestic and international flights.

Heraklion Airport is operating in a renovated and modern space since 1971. The airport complex has been expanded in order to accommodate increased traffic and serve an ever-increasing flight network. Especially during peak season, the airport gets really busy, thus some sporadic delays are expected.

The proximity of the airport to the Heraklion town allows the visitor some spare time to explore or simply wind out and have a nice lunch or drink in the local eateries. Furthermore, around the airport, one can find some excellent hotels and resorts in case an overnight stay is required. The historical site of Knossos Palace and the Archaeological Museum are also located nearby and can be easily reached from the airport with our help. Navigating through the airport can be a daunting task, airport staff will be readily available to assist you.
