ELAFONISI!! I cannot begin to describe how incredible and breathtaking this beach is, so I'm just going to post you some photos. Elafonisi is about an hour and a half away from where I am staying so we left "early" in the morning (11 or 12) with D's car and Haris' bike. McKay and I each took a turn riding on the bike, which apparently makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. The drive to the beach is through the mountains on very high and very narrow roads, so it's a lot of winding and turning as you literally carve your way up the mountain and down the other side. Almost all of the drive is on a single-lane road with two way traffic, a few fun little patches on the mountain side that do not have guard rails, and a short (but dark and narrow) tunnel that has a single lane but serves traffic both ways. Needless to say, the ride itself is half the experience.

Stopped to take in the view on our way through the mountains. The little black hole on the right side is the entrance to the one-lane tunnel.
