Stop 1

Elafonissi, located in the Chania region of Crete, is a breathtaking coastal area renowned for its stunning natural beauty. This idyllic paradise is often referred to as the “Pink Beach” due to its soft pink sand and turquoise waters.

As you approach Elafonissi, you’ll be captivated by the sight of the pristine coastline stretching before you. The beach itself is a masterpiece of nature, boasting a unique blend of colors. The sand, tinted with a delicate pink hue from the countless crushed seashells, contrasts beautifully with the clear, azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Elafonissi Beach is a crescent-shaped stretch of paradise, offering both shallow and deep waters. The shallow parts near the shore are perfect for wading, while the deeper sections provide opportunities for swimming and snorkeling. The crystal-clear waters allow you to marvel at the underwater world, where vibrant fish and marine life gracefully dance among the rocks and seagrass.
