    Description

    Elafonissi (or Elafonisi) is a spectacular coastal gem on Crete’s southwestern tip, known for its shallow turquoise lagoons, sandbars, and patches of pink sand derived from crushed shells. The beach is partly separated by a narrow sand strip from a small islet, which becomes walkable at low tide. It’s a protected natural area, combining lagoon calmness, scenic dunes, and a wild, dreamy atmosphere.
