It’s the largest Greek island and the fifth-largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Their visitors could admire remnants of one of the earliest civilizations in Europe –the Minoan, such as Knossos, Petras, and Ruskolakos. Moreover, the island is home of glorious beaches. Elafonisi and Balos’ sand has a pinkish colour, due to tiny red shells that are crushed in the sand. Prevali is another stunning beach, which is one of the most exotic beaches on the island because of its tropical palm vegetation.
