Elafonissi – The Beach of Pink Sand
Elafonissi is a small isle on the southwest of Crete, about 3 sq. km. It is connected to the mainland by shallow reef (max. depth 1 meter) that allows crossing when the sea is calm. The temperature here is always a bit higher, than on the other beaches.
Walking on the beach of Elafonissi you can find various plants and bushes, small frog, endemic to the island and various lizards considered a protected species. Another unique feature of this place is the color of the sand which is pink.
According to studies conducted by the Greek Ministry of the Environment the island serves as a breeding spot for the caretta-caretta sea turtle. You will also visit cave-church of Agia Sofia, climb the legendary steps of Chrisoskalitis and see the miracle-working icon. After the visit of the church, visit the beach to relax and sunbathe.

Cruise to Santorini Island
Santorini is extremely beautiful: gorgeous sea, beaches with white, red and black sand, amazing volcano view and white houses with blue sloping roofs. The island slopes downward from the cliffs to the surrounding Aegean Sea
Its spectacular physical beauty has made the island one of Europe’s top tourist hotspots.
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions the planet has ever seen: the eruption, which occurred 3,500 years before, causing three quarters of the island to sink in to the sea.
The atmosphere of this unique island will intoxicate you, just as much as the taste of the strong local wines and the view from Fira, the town perched on the top of the sheer cliffs of the devastated earth, will remain with you, long after your cruise to Santorini will be over.
