Tripadvisor’s annual Traveller’s Choice Awards has crowned Elafonissi Beach in Crete as the number one beach on the planet, thanks to its unique pink sands and crystal-clear waters.
Another added: ‘The water is beautifully clear, the pink grains of sand dance around at the water’s edge, and the water is shallow enough for you to walk around in the water.’.
Those who want to soak up the sun without the crowds can visit Elafonissi Beach during the shoulder seasons, such as May and September, rather than the busy summer months of June, July, and August.

Those who want to see the beach for themselves can easily travel from Chania, the nearest major city with convenient transport links.
