One visitor said it was 'one of the most beautiful beaches they've seen'
Summer is synonymous with holidays and you may be dreaming of a beautiful beach getaway - especially after the wet weather we’ve been experiencing here recently. While some of the world’s best beaches are found in the likes of the Caribbean and the Maldives, there’s certainly a few which can rival them right here in Europe.
Located on the south-west coast of the island of Crete, the beach can be reached by a direct bus from Chania or by renting a car - the drive takes around an hour and a half. Skyscanner shows tickets from Manchester Airport to Chania, with the cheapest one priced at £57 in July, with returns available from £63.With powder soft sand and shallow waters it’s easy to see why Elafonisi is so popular.
Thanks to its gently sloping sand the beach is perfect for little ones and ideal for snorkelling. The beach is actually connected to a nearby island sharing the same name and at low tide it’s even possible to walk across the sandbar between them. Elafonisi has gained popularity in recent years thanks to its gorgeous scenery. One visitor wrote on TripAdvisor: “A must see in Crete and a fantastic drive to get to it. Beach has wonderful pink sand and you should not miss it if you are in Crete. I’ve been to many beaches all over the world and this is one of the very best.”
