It sits just two hours by ferry across the Aegean Sea from the ominous round-the-clock tremors on the island of Santorini, but Elafonissi in Greece has been named the world’s best beach by Tripadvisor.
On the western tip of Crete, Elafonissi’s pink-looking sand and clear warm water made it this year’s winner, according to the travel company. It listed Banana Beach in Thailand in second place and Aruba’s Eagle beach in third.
