At the far edge of Crete lies Elafonisi, one of the most stunning beaches of Greece. The trademark of Elafonisi is the pink sand, the result of centuries of smashing sea-shells. Of course the beauty of Elafonisi is not limited to the color of the sand, as he shallow sea has an exotic turquoise color. There are some big rocks scattered on the beach, while there is a cedar forest near by.
