Elafonisi Beach, Crete
The beach on the small island in the southwest of the Greek island of Crete immediately stands out for its unusual color: due to small shell particles mixed in the sand, it namely shines in delicate, pastel pink tones. Coupled with the clear, sky-blue waters of the Mediterranean, every photo taken on this delightful beach looks like a postcard.
Erreichbar mit: dem Auto auf der einzigen befestigten Straße, die von Kissamos in Richtung Vathi bei Kefali abzweigt.
Cala Gat, Mallorca
On the northeast side of Mallorca, in the middle of an idyllic bay, this golden beach with crystal-clear water invites you to snorkel and swim. The cute beach bar provides visitors with refreshing drinks and salty snacks.
Erreichbar mit: einer Yacht aus Palma entlang der Ostküste der Insel.
Podrače Beach, Croatia
This quiet beach a bit off the Dalmatian coast is a real insider tip, which is also very popular with locals. The stony hills, the fragrant pine trees and the turquoise blue water make the charm of Croatia and provide Mediterranean feelings of happiness.
Erreichbar mit: von Split aus mit dem Auto entlang der Brela Küste.
Spiaggo Grande, Positano
This delightful village on Italy's Amalfi Coast delights visitors with its colorful house fronts and stunning views. Spiaggo Grande, the largest beach in Positano, is located right at the foot of the village and - although it can get quite crowded on some days - brings back nostalgic memories of vacations of yesteryear.
Erreichbar mit: der Fähre aus Neapel, Sorrento, Salerno und Amalfi.
Calanque d'en Vau, Cassis
Reaching this hidden beach, surrounded by majestic limestone, requires willpower, but the reward is well worth it. The bright blue water amidst the hills is an experience in itself, the way there an adventure that will be remembered forever (even if the sore muscles have already disappeared).
Erreichbar mit: einem Kayak oder durch eine Wanderung von Cassis.
