Elafonissi Pink Sand Beach

Highlight • Beach

Everything they said was true.
Elafonisi’s sand is pink. ✔️
It’s one of the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. ✔️
And pictures won’t give it justice. ✔️

Tip by

2.41 km

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.
