Elinta Beach
Ελίντα
🤿 Good snorkelling👨👩👧 Family-friendly
A horseshoe bay on the west coast, white pebbles and turquoise water enclosed by bare hills, with a watchtower on the headland. It is shallow and calm in the middle of the bay and there is usually a canteen in high season. The road down from Anavatos is winding and worth doing in the late afternoon, because this coast gets the sunset.
