- Elafonisi’s famous pink sand is a natural phenomenon created by tiny crushed seashells mixed with white sand.
- The pink colour is subtle and varies from day to day depending on light, weather, tides and the time of year.
- It is usually most visible in small patches near the waterline rather than across the entire beach.
- The sand appears at its pinkest in ideal lighting conditions, particularly on bright, sunny days.
