Hiking
Elafonisi is a small island off the west coast of Crete. A sandy promontory to the island forms a shallow water lagoon that is in no way inferior to many South Sea beaches. The pink to pink-colored sand created by mussel shells merges seamlessly into the turquoise-blue sea and creates a truly paradisiacal ambience. In the area in front of the beach there are parking lots, snack bars, showers and umbrellas.

Just outside the main beach there are nicer spots with pink sand
