Elafonisos

Elafonisos is a small island in the southern Peloponnese, situated between the Laconian Gulf and the Cretan Sea. Over the centuries it has been associated with fishing, maritime trade, and the life of small island communities. Today it is known for its sandy beaches, shallow turquoise waters, and relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from larger Greek islands. Thanks to short distances, most landmarks, beaches, and tavernas are accessible on foot or by a short ride, making Elafonisos an ideal choice for a slower pace of holiday in the Peloponnese.
