Situated in southwest Crete, Elafonisi boasts a captivating lagoon and a pristine swimming beach featuring remarkably clear waters and unique pink sands, creating an exotic panorama seldom found elsewhere on the planet. As the summer months unfold, a short distance south of the swimming zone unveils one of the finest windsurfing spots in Crete.

Situated along the northwest winds of the Ionian Sea, this coastal area benefits from consistent winds devoid of gusts or shifts in direction. Throughout the summer, the presence of sea breezes ensures nearly daily ideal conditions for windsurfing activities (ranging between 4 and 5 Beaufort, occasionally reaching 6 Beaufort on certain days).

Along the southern edge of the lagoon, an array of exceptional freestyle, freeride, and slalom conditions awaits. The combination of flat water and consistent winds ensures optimal circumstances for honing skills, whether you're mastering carve gybes or attempting your initial freestyle manoeuvres. The lagoon itself features deeper waters at its centre, making it an ideal playground for kitesurfing enthusiasts.
