Two beaches in Greece have been voted among the best 10 in Europe according to thousands of travelers voting at the European Best Destinations travel site recently.
Manolia Beach at the Lichadonisia Archipelago in the island of Evia and Greece and Elafonisi in Crete make it to number 6 and 8 respectively.
Manolia Beach at Lichadonisia is located on an island complex in northeast of Evia. The isles are often compared to the Maldives and Seychelles as they have stunning beaches with golden sand and turquoise waters.
The seven islands that make up the Lichadonisia chain — Manolia, Strongyli, Mikri, Steno, Vagia, Vorias and Limani, are currently uninhabited and protected natural habitats.
The largest isle, Manolia, is the only island that was home to residents in the past and has a stunning beach that tourists flock to each summer. The island has abandoned homes scattered about, creating an eerie feel as you explore the terrain; however, the island is very amenable to tourists.
