The western region of Gavdos Island is characterized by towering steep cliffs, offering enchanting views from the top. The precipitous landscape often leads to landslides, giving the entire area its name – Aspes, meaning landslides. At the foot of the Aspes cliffs, small beaches are formed, predominantly rocky, with accessibility only achievable by boat.
Among all the beaches on the western coasts, Diana beach distinguishes itself. This beach holds the record of being the second most southerly beach in Europe, only surpassed by Tripiti situated a few meters to the southeast. Diana beach is unique due to its less rocky terrain, small pebble composition, and a gigantic rock that provides shade throughout the day.
The beach was named Diana in honor of Princess Diana, who visited the location with Dodi Al-Fayed many years ago.
