2Simos Beach, Elafonisos

Situated off the southern coast of the Peloponnese, Simos Beach on Elafonisos Island is famed for its crystal-clear water and soft dunes. Divided into two crescent-shaped bays—Mikros and Megalos Simos—this beach offers shallow, translucent waters that blend turquoise and emerald tones.

The fine golden sand and natural vegetation enhance its tropical atmosphere. Despite being close to the mainland, Simos feels remote and pristine, making it an ideal escape for travelers seeking the wild beauty of Greece’s lesser-known shores.
