A relaxing meal after a day on the stunning beach, with dishes made from fresh ingredients
Description
Elafonissi, with its shallow turquoise waters and pink sand, is one of Crete’s most spectacular and popular destinations. After a day at the beach, the experience continues with a seaside meal where local cuisine meets sea views and a laid-back holiday feeling. The setting is peaceful – ideal for those seeking authentic Cretan hospitality and quality food by the waves.
Before or after the Meal:
