We’ll spend the day at the most awe-inspiring and remote location on the island, at its southwest tip. Elafonisi, with its outstanding natural beauty, is a unique hybrid of an island and a peninsula, as reaching it involves wading through the sea.

Previously a stronghold of pirates, today, Elafonisi is a bustling hotspot for excursionists who arrive in droves to enjoy its distant lagoon, all while on a Mediterranean getaway. Elafonisi is a terrestrial paradise, a utopia of unrivaled charm. It boasts sandy dunes, low-lying trees, shrubs, sand lilies, and junipers. Accessible by foot from the beach, you cross through shallow waters of bright aqua and turquoise. The white and pink sand, created from countless shattered seashells, combined with the transparent blue-green waters, the intimate coves, and the hidden miniature beaches, leave visitors with a sense of nostalgia for a lost paradise.

Dive into the lukewarm, tropical waters and unwind under the sizzling summer sun!
