Elafonissi
Occupying a Natura 2000 protection zone, Elafonisi stands out as one of Greece’s exceptionally individual areas. Its landscape is graced with dunes embellished with sand lilies and junipers, sand that consistently changes from white to pink, and transparent, turquoise waters. It’s akin to a Caribbean haven submerged in the Mediterranean!

Highlights
- Elafonissi Beach - Elafonisi is located on the southwesternmost point of Crete and is oblong, which often seems to be divided into two parts by water, giving the impression of it being a separate island. The protected area of Elafonisi features magnificent natural formations with arguably the most beautiful being the pinkish sand which exists in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken seashells and corals. The exotic beach with its white and pink sand and turquoise waters is reminiscent of the Caribbean. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the water does not exceed 1m (3 feet), creating a small lagoon, which can easily be crossed. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is organized, having umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars, and changing rooms. In Elafonisi, you will have plenty of time to explore the area, swim in the crystal clear waters, and even grab a bite to eat!

The beach was beautiful.... - The beach was beautiful. Water was clear and calm. We didn’t stop at the caves of Saint Sophia as promised in the description and the bus dropped us off on the busy and dangerous main road instead of at the hotel as expected
