2 Reviews on “Elafonisos”
Pleasant secluded town where the ferries come to dock overnight. Very touristic in summer as the island host one of the most beautiful beaches of the Peloponnese. In front of the church lay the underwater city of Pavlopetri.
Pavlopetri is 5000 years old, and the oldest submerged city in the world.
You can explore it snorkeling from the church, and if you have a tender it’s better to start from the little island further. You might have just found Atlantis, who knows.
Anchoring near the small shipyard in 8-9 meters of sand offers good holding, making it a convenient spot, especially for visiting the nearby village. The village itself is quiet and pleasant, with a few small shops and a fruit and vegetable store that’s well-regarded for its affordability and friendly service.
With strong SW or W gusts, it’s advisable to avoid getting too close to the coast due to rocky patches. The wind can funnel through the mountains, creating stronger gusts in the anchorage. In calm conditions, it’s a peaceful spot with clear water and a nice sandy beach across from the village, perfect for a swim.
