    Very varied subsurface!

    You can wade in the water as well as in the sand on the shore, easiest not in high season

      The pink sands of Elafonisi, created by tidal and wave-induced deposits of pigmented microorganisms living in a symbiotic relationship with native seaweed, were a frequent subject of souvenir-taking by tourists until the Greek government declared the area a nature reserve and prohibited the sands' removal; even today, color saturation levels remain at only around 10% of those in the early twentieth century.

        wonderful beach, but unfortunately very crowded with tourists.
