Among the most beautiful beaches on Crete, Elafonissi dazzles visitors with its soft pink-sand shoreline and crystal-clear turquoise lagoon waters. The expansive mile-long beach is actually found on a small islet, which is a protected nature reserve near the mainland of Crete (connected by a reef).
With the sun-parched Cretan mountains providing a serene landscape, Elafonissi has a remote quality. There are no hotels in the area. However, the beach does have a few snack bars, as well as lounge chair and sun parasol rentals.
