Tips for Visiting Elafonisi Beach
Arrive Early: During the peak summer months, Elafonisi can get quite crowded. Arriving early in the morning will help you secure a good spot and allow you to enjoy the beach before the crowds arrive.
Bring Supplies: While there are some facilities available, such as sunbeds, umbrellas, and a few snack bars, it's a good idea to bring your own food, drinks, and essentials, especially if you plan to spend the entire day there.
Respect the Environment: As a protected area, it’s important to respect the natural surroundings. Avoid trampling on the dunes and be mindful of your waste. Take only pictures, and leave only footprints.
Explore the Surroundings: Don’t just limit your visit to the main beach area. Take the time to walk around the islet, where you’ll find quieter spots and a chance to appreciate the untouched nature of the region.
