Couple’s holiday in Elafonissos

For your next dream destination, consider the small but stunning island of Elafonisos. Located in the Laconia region, just below the third finger of the Peloponnese, it’s only a ten-minute ferry ride from the mainland. This special place is perfect for truly unplugging and immersing yourself in a kind of Hellenic paradise with a relaxed and romantic atmosphere.

You’ll be immediately captivated by the island. Elafonisos’ beaches are among the most beautiful in the Greek Islands. The sea features vibrant shades, transparent waters, and fine light sand as soft as talcum powder. The surrounding vegetation is typically Mediterranean and still unspoiled here, the beautiful and delicate sea lilies still grow wild, adding to the island’s enchanting, fairytale-like ambiance. Don’t miss Simos Beach, the most famous one, where you can enjoy a long walk hand in hand at sunset, or Panagia Beach, less crowded but equally stunning.

Despite its small size just 19 square kilometers Elafonisos offers plenty of activities. Start with snorkeling, where you can admire the rich marine life and flora, and even encounter graceful sea turtles dancing through the crystal-clear waters. You can also try windsurfing when the winds pick up, or enjoy the more tranquil activity of kayaking. For walking enthusiasts, Elafonisos is ideal; explore hidden landscapes and spots of infinite beauty along its trails. And just a ten-minute ferry ride away, you’ll find Pavlopetri, the oldest submerged city in the Mediterranean, or Cape Malea, linked to the myth of Odysseus, who, according to legend, lost his way to Ithaca due to the winds and storms in this area.

For romantic moments, imagine having dinner with a breathtaking sunset over the sea, with only the sound of the waves in the background, or a post-dinner walk with your feet in the sand, under a stunning starry sky where you can even spot the Milky Way.

Elafonisos is a unique destination for a relaxing vacation, where nature takes center stage. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway and still relatively untouched by mass tourism.
