One of the most beautiful beaches on the island, Elafonisi, is a must-visit in Crete. Famous for its unique pink sand, a result of crushed seashells blending with white sand, Elafonissi creates a mesmerizing and distinctive shoreline. This pristine beach is accessible by a shallow lagoon, allowing visitors to wade through crystal-clear turquoise waters to reach the island.
Please remember that there are barely any trees on the beach, and the sun is extremely bright post-noon.
