Nature

Pikrovlychada (or Petrovlychada) beach is formed at the exit of a small steep canyon with technical descents that starts at an altitude of about 900 meters south of the village ​​Ethia.

A few meters north of the main port of the city of Sitia, the main road that leads to the airport passes by the Chlouverakis Park. Right next to it is the picturesque cove of Soultanina. Access is very easy either by car or on foot.

Potamos beach in northwestern Gavdos is formed at the outlet of various small streams. Their soils are mainly clay, which makes them create special formations as they are dissolved by rain and wind. Some of the formed streams pass through harder rocks, creating deep canyons with waterfalls of amazing beauty, which, however, can be seen by someone with water even in winter relatively rarely.

Tourkavlako beach is located a little north of the port of Karave in Gavdos. The beach has pebbles and sand, while deeper it has rocks. There is no natural shade, which makes it hard for someone to stay there without shade all day long.

Bogazi Beach is located in a hard-to-reach area west of Bali in the area of the village Melidoni of the Mylopotamos district. It takes its name from the bogazi, which is a narrow passage, created by a rock.

The small beach of Agia Paraskevi is located at the outlet of a stream in an inaccessible area of ​​the village Skepasti, Mylopotamos district, between Bali and Skepasti. The beach takes its name from the church of Saint Paraskevi, which is located at the beginning of the stream, a few meters above.

A few meters east of the small beach Koutalas and on the rocky coastline of Drapanos we meet one of the many caves in the area of ​​Kokkino Chorio. It is the imposing cave of Koutalas, known to some as Nerospilia (Water Cave), even though Nerospilia is located in another nearby location.

The beach Achimada is formed in a semi-circular bay with cliffs and orange rocks that are composed of many places of deposits of fossilized bivalves (shells) and take imposing forms.
