Things To Do: Elafonissi - West Crete
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Actually Elafonissi is the name of the little island situated in front of this long narrow strip of sand. They are separated by a shallow canal of water, walking on it you will wet just your knees. The sand is clear and pink somewhere because the coral powder. On the island you will find more pink and if you will walk enaugh you will reach some secluded part that look as your private cove.

    Please play attenction to the sign and avoid to walk on the flowers and plant that grow on the sand, they are protected as the whole island is a natural park.

    And.... PLEASE don't abandon your trash there!! it is a paradise corner, we MUST preserve it!

    Things To Do: Xerocambos - East Crete
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of my shame about my three visit to Crete is that I have never been in Xerocambos, one of its treasure villages. But nothing is lost, the fourth visit is not only a dream.. it will be a day.

    I found many useful information about Xerocambos and Crete in general in the site Xerocambos. It is managed by two very nice persons, they came from Italy and already did what is in my mind since I have been in Crete the first time, they left Italy and now they live in this wonderful land.
    They also helped me with my car rental and all was perfect.

    thanks to Andrea that allow me to use his photos as I have no one to show here.
