*Elafonisi is the most popular beach in Crete and one of the most popular in Europe ( ranked 24th in the world and 7th in Europe.)
It is located at the south west of Crete and is 75 km away from the city of Chania. Elafonisi has beautiful crystal shallow waters and that makes it easy and safe to walk to the island that is 200 meters away from the main beach. However what makes Elafonisi so special is the pink sand in the water that has been created from the thousands of broken seashells.
