Elephant beach in Lendas
(1 Vote)

The small beach of the Elephant (Elefantas) is located between Cape Psamidomouri and the beach Petrakis in Lendas and directly below the Levinthos hotel, through which there is access.

The beach gets its special name from an impressive rock in the sea that looks like an elephant from the area of ​​Lendas. From all sides jut out rocks that take impressive forms, of which the elephant rock is the most famous.

In general, the sea bottom is rocky and shallow. The beach is sandy and has some large tamarisk trees. Bathers also often swim naked, which has been quite common in the wider area of ​​Lendas since the 1970s.
