Elafonisi: A perfect beach and islet at the far west coast of Crete. The clear, turquoise waters are attracting travelers for centuries, but this natural, pristine beach, remains virtually untouched. It is located 76km west of Chania in the south westernmost point of Crete. Elafonisi is a Natura 2000 protected area, full of dunes with sand lilies and junipers (like-cedars trees). The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells.
