Elafonissi Beach - one of the places in the world where you find Red sand beach!!!

Made this photograph close to sunset. Wen you are at low season you've got almost the complete beach for your self.
Greece's very own version of the Maldives. Clear turquoise water, and a super long sandy beach. You can walk for hours on end without the water ever getting too deep, and you can even walk all the way over to one of the tiny little isles without you or your things getting wet. It will feel like you're in paradise.

Try to get there early though, the beach will be packed by 11. Also, prepare to get warm, cause the place hardly gets any wind at all so it will feel like you're in a furnace. A good thing you can just lie in the shallow water all day then.

Get a dose of vitamin D at Elafonissi Beach. Once you've worked on your tan, stick around and watch the sky transform with colors as the sun fades away.

This Chania stretch of coastline is an ideal place to start your day of sightseeing. There's loads to discover close by, such as Pink Beach, Kedrodasos Beach, and Chryssoskalitissa Monastery. Take your time at Elafonissi Beach before making tracks to these other fine attractions.

If weather is bad (windy, chance of rain), they will not have toilets. Toilets cost 1 euro so bring some cash. It is nice but if it is cloudy not as good.
