Monastery of Chrisoskalitissa

Highlight • Religious Site

The small village not only has two great beaches and a monastery, but also very nice accommodations to offer.

Elafonissi Pink Sand Beach

Highlight • Beach

Only in small sections can you find the pink glow that characterizes this beach. In any case, the beach is worth a visit!
...even if it was really busy!

Sandbar Crossing to Elafonissi Island

Highlight • Beach

Depending on the weather and current, the island can usually only be reached by wading across the sandbank. The water is usually only knee-deep.

Highlight • Beach

The sandbank in front glows a beautiful pink, especially at sunset.

Elafonissi Island

Highlight • Beach

I can only agree with Andreas. Don't (just) get stuck at the beginning, but go to the island and a little further. The further you go, the less there is …

A great idea to remind vacationers to take pictures rather than take anything from nature.

If everyone who comes here takes a glass of sand with them, there will quickly be none left.

A welcoming spot.
