Driving one km west of Elafonisos you will find a beach full of cedars, the Kedrodasos (Cedar forest). The trees are very fragile and require care from holidaymakers as this area is protected by Natura 2000.
The beach is secluded and is not organized and is considered as one of the last paradises in Europe.
