2Elafonisos, Greece – The Hidden Gem of the Peloponnese
Tiny yet captivating, Elafonisos is one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Located near the southern tip of the Peloponnese, the island enchants visitors with its dazzling turquoise waters and soft white sands.
Simos Beach is often called one of Europe’s most beautiful, and its shallow, clear lagoons create an almost tropical scene. New eco-lodges and boutique stays are making Elafonisos more accessible while preserving its pristine environment. Its rise in 2026 will mark the moment Greece’s small, untouched islands gain the global recognition they deserve.
