Elafonisi Beach Overhead - Crete, Greece

About the artwork

This aerial photograph captures a stunning overhead view of Elafonisi Beach on the island of Crete, Greece. The straw umbrellas form a beautiful pattern in the soft sand, while swimmers enjoy the shallow, turquoise waters where the beach meets the rocks. The image highlights the beach’s unique mix of natural textures — from the smooth shoreline to the rocky outcrops and the signature pinkish sand that makes Elafonisi famous.

Photographed using kite aerial photography, this image offers a rare bird’s-eye view of one of Crete’s most beloved destinations. A striking photograph for lovers of Greece, collectors of Mediterranean beach scenes, or anyone wanting to bring a sense of warm, sunlit escape into their space.

Choosing the Right Surface

Each print surface offers its own strengths:

• Metal for the most vivid, contemporary presentation, with glossy or matte finishes.
• Canvas for classic look and value in larger pieces, always matte.
• Paper for flexibility and accessibility in smaller sizes, with a matte/luster surface.

Metal – The photograph is infused directly into a sleek aluminum panel, creating a vibrant, high definition finish with incredible durability. These are waterproof, scratch resistant, and ready to hang with a modern, frameless look or set in a high quality float frame. Available with a glossy or matte finish.

Canvas – Printed on artist grade canvas and stretched over a solid wood frame, canvas prints offer a ready to hang, gallery style presentation. Canvas has a beautiful matte finish and looks best when paired with a float frame.

Paper – Produced on premium photo paper with a smooth, luster finish that enhances color and detail. Perfect for framing under glass.
