Elafonissi · Chania & western Crete · Greece
★★★★☆ Beach & outdoors
No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.
A pink-tinged sandbar and lagoon at the southwest corner of Crete, shallow enough to wade across. Free, though parking is not. Two hours from Chania on a slow road, and packed by 11:00 in August. A protected Natura site: taking the pink sand is illegal.
