The pink sand of Elafonisi Crete !
The crystal clear waters of Elafonisi Beach, drew me from one side of the globe to the other. Whilst working in my home office, I kept a picture of Elafonisi inlet on my computer screen. I would visualise myself there. To me, it represented one of the most beautiful aspects of Crete.
Then, one fine day, I was there! Magic!
Elafonisi Beach and islet are at the far west coast of Crete. The clear, turquoise waters have beckoned travellers for centuries, but thankfully this area has a restricted development order in place.
This natural, near pristine beach, with its pure white sandbars and natural islet, remains virtually untouched.
In some light, the sand takes on a pink glow, said to be from corals. Elafonisi is protected by an EU environmental program.
