Another view of the gorgeous Elafonissi Beach on Crete Island, Greece. Crete is Greece's largest island and has no shortage of stunning beaches to explore! However, this was by far our favorite because it is where we got engaged!

TIP: go early or late (a few hours prior to sunset) to beat the crowds and have you own little cove to yourself to admire all that pretty pink sand!

Wonderful city. The old town has great restaurants and shopping. Take Captain Nick’s 3.5 hour boat tour if you can. One of the best experiences. You can find him in the old harbor.
