Pink beach , stunning
Elafonissi Beach - one of the places in the world where you find Red sand beach!!!
Dead tree at Elafonissi Beach (Crete). 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. #waterlust

The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and wine. You can't go wrong booking this wonderful property.
