"Beautiful sandy beach. Elafonissi beach on the Crete island, Greece . Elafonissi is located on the extreme southwest corner of Crete . An amazing beach and captivating landscape; this idyllic lagoon with the pink sand and the green-blue waters is visited by thousands of tourists every summer. And not in vain since it truly is a dreamlike destination. The water here is so shallow that you can walk to the opposite isle."
