In summer temperatures can be very high, so be sure to bring a good supply of sun cream and your best hats! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer milder temperatures and want to enjoy the island without too many tourists, then the best time to visit is probably from late October to mid-April. At this time of the year, the island is almost deserted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, note that you will have an average of more than 10 days of rain from November to March! However, there is hardly any rain from May to September.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Elafonisi\"><\/span><strong>History of Elafonisi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout its history, Crete has been an extremely coveted island. Several forces have occupied the island, including pirates who have invaded it over the centuries. The many historical events that have affected the island of Crete have also reached more distant places like the island of Elafonisi. Indeed, this island, which is now perceived as a small corner of paradise, was the scene of horrors. Many Greeks were killed trying to escape the oppression of the Ottoman Turks during the Greek War of Independence. Hundreds of Greeks hid on the island waiting for a ship to come and rescue them. In 1907 the island was also the scene of a major shipwreck. The ship &#8220;Imperatrix&#8221; disappeared there and its wreckage is still lying on the bottom of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elafonisi_is_a_protected_place\"><\/span>Elafonisi is a protected place<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the island allows visitors to enjoy a real corner of paradise, natural and with spectacular landscapes, it is not without reason. Indeed, this island is protected under the Natura 2000 network. It is an area rich in plant species, all of which are protected and some of which are rare. In order to keep this place intact, all beach facilities are forbidden, but you can still find sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee, as well as some places to eat. Feel free to move away from the water&#8217;s edge and walk around the island. It&#8217;s quite large and you&#8217;re bound to find a little piece of paradise to enjoy the solitude for a while. It is also a nesting area for the small and adorable caretta caretta sea turtles and you will see ropes protecting the egg areas.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete and Europe with our travel guide dedicated to Elafonisi!
