What to see in Elafonisos?

The island of Elafonisos is worth visiting primarily for its splendid beaches and Caribbean-like sea. Unfortunately, in high season, it is crowded with tourists; otherwise, it is a tranquil island with relaxing nature. Below are the main things to see.

Elafonisos
The capital is charming, full of taverns, and with a small harbor populated by many fishing boats. It is lively in the evening.

Chiesa di Aghios Spyridon
An evocative small church built on a flat islet, reachable by a walkway over the sea, dedicated to the island's patron saint.

Festa della Panagia Katonissiotissa
A major mid-August festival where the faithful gather, transported by boat to Panagia beach on Kato Nisi.
