We booked a day tour to Elafonisi Beach and enjoyed a memorable lunch at Milia Mountain Retreat. Experiencing the serene blue waters and breathtaking mountain views all in one day was absolutely amazing. A big thank you to Nasos, who got us know more about the Chania/Greece’s history and culture. The tour was perfectly paced, allowing us to fully enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a relaxing day immersed in Chania’s natural beauty, I highly recommend this tour!

The drive is about an hour and a half. You drive through the mountains with a lot of twists and turns, but Stavros was an excellent driver and shared Crete’s history. Stavros is very helpful and knows so much about Crete. He was excellent! The beach is beautiful! You get there at the perfect time and having loungers is amazing. The meal at Milia is phenomenal, probably the best meal in Crete!

5 out of 5 stars

This was a really great trip that exceeded our expectations. The visit to the Milia restaurant and mountain resort was particularly special with outstanding food rather than the usual tourist fare. Nicolaos was a great and engaging guide and we felt completely safe in his hands on the rather "exciting" mountain roads.

Dion was great and has such a great heart. Full of knowledge and upbeat attitude with the entire trip. It was such a great trip off road and the place/scenery to see and the food was excellent. I fully recommend this activity for something a little different. Thanks Dion for the adventure! Take care
