Forgot your tinted glasses?no drama!Once you arrive at Elafonisi, the world is actually pink.A short ride from Chania(situated in Crete),this pink beach beats the beauty of the best white sand beaches you would have seen.Not just that, the sand is fine and the water clear.
The pink sand at Elafonisi
The pink sand is the result of broken coral and shells left behind by creatures called foraminifera.One can spend a whole day marvelling at the beauty of this beach,which stretches to as far as the eyes can see. Go skinny-dipping or enjoy a pint of greek beer.
My name is Ishita and by profession I am an airline pilot. After having lived out of the suitcase for over 13 years, I decided to share my travel experience with the world. This website is based on my personal experience. Some of the trips being the vacations I took over the years. Through this website I will try to share the moments that made the trips to over 40 countries that I have visited, so special. Every place, every country, every city, has something unique to offer, and you do not want to miss out on the best. I hope through my articles, I am able to help you make your trips even more memorable. So sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.
