Elafonisi Beach, located on the southwest coast of Crete, is one of Greece’s most stunning natural wonders. This beach is famous for its pinkish-white sand, which gets its unique color from crushed seashells. The water here is shallow, warm, and crystal clear, making it perfect for families with children and snorkelers.
Elafonisi is part of a protected nature reserve, which means the surrounding landscape is unspoiled and peaceful. Visitors can also walk across the shallow lagoon to the small island of Elafonisi, adding an extra layer of adventure to the visit.
