Itinerary
Cave of Agia Sofia
Within 1 hour and 45 min of Rethymno we reach the tree-lined gorge of the Village of Topolia. There is a 300-meter-high wall and the little chapel of Agia Sofia built in a cave.
Here you will be able to explore the many stalactites and the unique view of the gorge. 'The Romanza' canteen is the place to refresh with an array of Cretan specialties and delights. You will spot the local men wearing traditional Cretan clothing from decades ago.
This stop lasts about 30 minutes and then we continue south.
Monastery of Chrisoskalitsa
Elafonissi Beach
We arrive at Elafonissi around noon. By far one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, Elafoissi is situated on the south-west coast. A tropical effect is created by its white and pink coral sands. Head to the right for shallow water in a small enclosed lagoon ideal for the children.
A walk through the lagoon to the islet is most worthwhile as you will discover this unique coastline.
The coral sands and warm shallow waters attract swimmers, spear fishermen, and windsurfers from the world over.
