Detailed itinerary

Cretan Thyme Honey is a completely natural product, unique in the world because of the specificity of the areas in which it is produced, where endemic vegetation exists. The island’s surrounding sea imparts the thyme honey with a special flavor and a unique aroma.
The rare biodiversity of Crete is where that aroma and distinctive flavor are nested. This is the main characteristic of Cretan thyme honey and the key factor that Thyme honey ranks first in quality around the world.
Here you will have an one hour stop, to see how the honey is made and if you wish to have a refreshment or a coffee.

Stop 2

Elafonisi is located about 80 km from Chania and is one of the exotic beaches of Crete. The island is joined by a long and narrow streak of sand which is covered by sea water depth of 20-60 cm high and you can cross on foot. In order to reach the island you will need to walk about 200 meters. On the south side has several small beaches which have fewer visitors.

Leaving Elafonissi beach we will pass through many small traditional villages and finally we will stop at Kandanos for launch and traditional sweets.
