About this spot
Elafonisi Kite Club documents "the big shallow kite surfing lagoon no more than 1m deep" and a coastline you can walk through the shallow lagoon. Kiteforum's entry describes flat to choppy water that can be very flat behind spits and sand bars, with lots of shallow water, and lists April–October as the best months.
Kiteforum explicitly flags beach rules as "Zones, Time" without publishing the boundaries or hours, so a documented zoning and time-control scheme exists but its current terms are unknown. The lagoon sits in a natural preserve. Kiteforum's entry lists swimmers and rocks among hazards and beach users through May–October. Confirm the permitted launch, riding zone and hours with the club or the port authority.
