Elafonisi is located 86km west of Kalyves and 5km south of Chrysoskalitisa Monastery, in the southwesternmost tip of Crete. Elafonisi is an oblong peninsula, which often breaks in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. It is a Natura 2000 protected area. The island is full of sand dunes with sea daffodils and jupiners. The endangered loggerhead sea turtle and several more rare animals and plants find shelter on the island. Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the sea water does not exceed 1m in depth, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon in order to reach the opposite site of the peninsula, while carrying your staff with you, because the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people. There are umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars and changing rooms. Also, near the beach there is a huge area for parking. Opposedly, the beaches on either sides of the island are less crowded and are the most beautiful, with amazing azure colors. There are some coves available for naturists near the west end of the peninsula.

Elafonisi is made famous for its crystal-clear waters and pink sandy beaches. It is rich in its wildlife and plant species making it a very unique location. Elafonisi is a very well-organized beach with umbrellas and sunbeds but please be aware it is a very popular beach in the summer because of its beauty and location. Walk through its crystal-clear waters from the beach to the island of Elafonisi and experience the diversity of plants that can be found here. Take a walk through the shallow waters to the light-house on the island which was built after the tragedy of 1907 when an Austrian ship “Imperatrix” sank. The original lighthouse was bombed during WWII but a metal one stands in its place today warning sailors of its shores.
