At the southwestern tip of the island lies one of its most breathtaking and surprising spots, where the day will be spent. Elafonisi is a site of extraordinary natural beauty, resembling both an island and a peninsula, as visitors must wade through the sea to reach it.
Once a pirate haven, it is now a favored destination for day-trippers who flock to this distant lagoon while enjoying a Mediterranean holiday. Elafonisi is a paradise on earth—a haven of unmatched beauty. It is adorned with sand dunes, low trees, bushes, sand lilies, and junipers. Visitors can reach it on foot from the beach by crossing shallow aquamarine and turquoise waters. The white and pink sand, composed of countless broken seashells, the clear blue-green waters, the small coves, and the secluded tiny beaches evoke memories of a lost paradise.
Enjoy a swim in the warm tropical waters and unwind under the hot summer sun!
