Explore Crete’s Caribbean sea. Elafonisi is a breathtaking destination, a true gem of natural splendor. The landscape is filled with sand dunes, low trees, bushes, sand lilies, and junipers. You can easily reach your destination by walking from the beach, crossing through the beautiful shallow waters in shades of aquamarine and turquoise. The white and pink sand, composed of countless shattered seashells, along with the clear blue-green waters, secluded coves, and hidden beaches, evoke a sense of a long-forgotten paradise for those who visit.

In autumn, the spectacular white sand lilies and the endangered sea cedars, a type of cedar that grows near sandy beaches, bloom in the area. It is a resting place for a multitude of migratory birds, during their long journey to Africa or vice versa, but also a breeding ground for the Caretta-Caretta sea turtle that nests and lays its eggs.

Indulge in a refreshing dip in the inviting tropical waters and bask in the glorious summer sunshine!
