Elinda
Ελίντα
Elinda is one of the west coast's most beautiful quiet coves: a large, enclosed bay of pebbles and clear water backed by an undeveloped landscape. Its sheltered shape often gives the water a calm, secluded feel, and the absence of heavy infrastructure is a large part of the appeal. Come prepared and stay for the late-afternoon light.
