Quick 3 Nights 4 Days in Crete

Hello! Your site is so very helpful!!

I fly into Heraklion and am trying to decide where it would be best to stay. I arrive at 5pm and depart 4 days later at 4pm. Below are some of my points of interest. I would rather take public transportation.

I am thinking it would be best to travel to Chania right when I land and do the Samaria Gorge the next day and then Elafonissi Beach the following and head to Heraklion that night and then have the morning in Heraklion to see the Palace of Knossos.

I'd like to include Zeus' cave but I just think that is too far away. Any advice is appreciated!!
