Elafonisos Island and coastal sea zone

The island of Elafonisos is located at the south-western corner of Crete and together with the opposite coastline it belongs to the Natura 2000 network presenting a considerable biodiversity. The island and the opposite Cretan coast are separated by a relatively narrow zone of shallow waters over permanently submerged sandy sediments of the sea-floor. This combination along with the dominance of sanddunes constitutes a very important and unique geological formation.
