Elafonisi Lagoon

Elafonisi Lagoon

In the south-west of the island, you’ll spy the candy floss-pinks of Elafonisi Lagoon. The sand here has been almost dip-dyed this colour by shells that have washed up on the shore over countless years. The aquamarine water is oh-so-inviting, but why not wander along this stunning stretch to get the full picture?
