The Monastery is on the edge of a 35m high rock staring at the Libyan sea. It is an orthodox monastery of the 17th century dedicated to Virgin Mary and the Holy Triad.

10:00 Elafonissi
Elafonissi is a small island with white and pink sand separated from the land by a lagoon. The emerald water and pink sand form an exotic scenery. The lagoon between the island and the beach is only 1 m deep so visitors can walk to the island. The pink sand is created from thousands of broken seashells. A small part of the beach is organized and there is a canteen with snacks and refreshments.
