Private Boat trip from Sfakia to Elafonisi

We set off with our skipper in the morning towards Elafonissi and enjoy a long swim in the crystal clear waters.Our next stop is the unique Kedrodasos beach where the endemic juniper trees can be found at the back of the beach and the water is just too blue to be true! Lunchtime finds us in Paleochora where we taste the delicacies that this little town has to offer. During the afternoon, we make our way back and we also make a stop at the secluded creek of Lissos, where the Temple of Asclepius hides a beautiful mosaic floor. On our way back to Sfakia we will make some more stops in some well-known bays such as Domata, Agia Roumeli, Agios Pavlos, Marmara. An afternoon coffee break in Loutro is a must, before we head back to Sfakia.
