ABOUT

Almyrida is a coastal settlement and beach located within the municipality of Mylopotamos, in the region of Rethymno.

The small sandy beach has a rocky seabed and is enveloped by tamarisk trees, which provide shade for those enjoying the beach.

To the west of the beach, there is a pier where fishing and tourist boats are moored. To the east, you'll find the beach known as Alyki, which has been shaped by the presence of an old marsh and a small stream that flows into the sea.

The dried marsh is part of the national wetland census known as Elos Sison which translates to Sison Marsh.

Bali Beach

Bali Beach

Bali is home to four beaches nestled within picturesque bays, featuring sandy shores and inviting green waters. These beaches are perfect for families with children, offering a safe and calm environment for swimming. Additionally, they are well-equipped with amenities such as parasols and sunbeds for a comfortable seaside experience.

As you enter Bali, the first beach that greets you is Livadi Beach. It boasts a sandy shoreline and is thoughtfully equipped with parasols and sunbeds to enhance your beach experience.

Heading east, just a short walk away, you'll come across two bays that, unlike the first beach, are not equipped with parasols and sunbeds and are, therefore, preferred by those seeking solitude and isolation.

To the west and north of the main beach, you'll discover two well-equipped and stunning bays, perfect for swimming and leisure activities.

Geropotamos Beach: Nature's Hidden Gem

Geropotamos Beach: Nature's Hidden Gem

Geropotamos Beach, situated beneath the prominent bridge, is one of the scenic coastal gems visible when driving along the Heraklion-Rethymno and Rethymno-Heraklion routes. Located approximately 20 kilometres east of Rethymno, this picturesque beach can be found alongside the Geropotamos River.

Geropotamos Beach, although sandy, may not be an ideal choice for families with young children due to its abrupt depth changes. Additionally, its location leaves it susceptible to wind conditions. However, the beach offers sunbeds and parasols, and you can easily access it by car. There is a bar and taverna nearby providing refreshments and meals. It is important to exercise caution and avoid approaching the rocks at the ends of the beach for safety reasons.

To reach Geropotamos Beach, you can take a dirt road that branches off from the motorway.
