Now we are also on National Geographic

Our journalist friend DANA FACAROS contacted us as Elafonisos has been ranked as one of the best Greek islands to visit in 2023.
Here’s what he writes about us:

Simos beach, where two crescents of dunes form an hourglass in the turquoise sea, is irresistible, but you have to struggle to get there; Elafonisos is located in the southeast Peloponnese, a short ferry ride from Pounta, which is a four-hour drive from Athens Airport or just under three hours from Kalamata.

All hotels are small, including the Elafonisos Resort (from £82, B&B). There are other beautiful sandy beaches but only one “gem”, the oldest sunken city in the world, Pavlopetri 5,000 years old, so bring mask and snorkel. Elafonisos is no longer a secret, but it has not yet been invaded by mass tourism; Elafonisos Eco, the first environmental association on a Greek island, is dedicated to keeping it that way.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Elafonisos Eco Week which we will announce shortly.
