Elafonissi Island and Chrissoskalitissa Monastery

Two of western Crete's most popular attractions can be visited on a day trip from Chania. Travel a short distance to the historical monastery of Chrissoskalitissa, meaning 'golden step' which is uniquely built on a rock just a drift off the western coast of Crete. Continue your journey for the pink-hued sands of Elafonissi Island.
