Elafonissos island does not have the spectacular beauty of its island cousins in the Cyclades chain. But it is surrounded by the most beautiful turquoise seas and has some of the finest and longest sandy beaches in Greece.
Simos beach may be the best beach in Greece with soft white sand and clean blue water. All the beaches on Elefonissos have a tropical look and feel to them and the cantinas play as much latin as Greek music. Besides the beautiful beaches there is not much to see on the island. The snorkeling is terrific.
