There are some important archaeological discoveries
on the island and in the surrounding area, such as
the "sunken city" as well as a Chalcolithic period
burial site from the Copper Age in the area of
Pavlopetri.
The church of Agios Spyridon (Greek: Άγιος Σπυρίδων),
built on a tiny piece of land connected to the
settlement with a bridge over shallow waters, is the
main church of the Elafonisos island community, and a
landmark of Elafonisos.
