ELAFONISSOS
| In the south-west part
of Crete (Prefecture of Chania) there lies one of the most beautiful beaches
you could visit in Crete. |
 |
| 64 Km from Chania, there is the village
of Vathi. After Vathi the road becomes poor, running south until, a total
of 73 Km, it reaches the south coast at the Crysoskalitissa Convent. |
 |
| The fortress-like convent
is built high up on a steep cliff over a narrow bay, with a wonderful view
south over the LIbyan Sea.(At least aremarkable sight) |
| Continuing about 5 Km south west from
the convent, we come to the beautiful islet of Elafonisi, which is joined
to the body of Crete by a shallow reef some 800 metres long. |
 |
| This is easy to cross
when the weather is calm. The land-scape is warm and the and welcoming,
with brilliant white sand and the calm sea. There is no hint of the frightful
waves which the south wind can whip up - some of the fiercest in the Mediterranean. |
| Nor is there any reminder of the catastrophe
of 24 April 1824, when, on Easter Sunday, the troops of Ibrahim slaughtered
40 Greeks fighter and 600 women and children. |
 |
| Only a plaque on the
summit of the island bears witness to their terrible end. |
