Potamos Beach is accompanied by a small torrent that forms the expansive wetland of Malia. This beach is situated next to the main beach of Malia and is in close proximity to the archaeological site of Malia, which houses the Minoan Palace.

This approximately 700-metre-long beach offers sandy shores and crystal-clear waters, adorned with rock formations along its edges. It is well-equipped with parasols and sunbeds, yet still provides ample free space for visitors.

In the surrounding area, you can find hotels within small bays, and during the autumn months, the white lilies of the sand bloom, adding a beautiful touch to the scenery.

In 2018, Potamos Beach received a total score of 7.879 points out of 10 from beachgoers, making it one of the top nine certified public beaches according to the Costa Nostrum Sustainable Beaches standard.
