  • Vathis Potamos beach

About

Between Platani and the airport of Sitia, there are huge uninhabited lands with low vegetation and wild sharp rocks, where even no roads exist. This area, called Melissokipi (aka Bee gardens), is crossed by several deep streams flowing into the sea (in winter). One of them, Vathys Potamos (i.e. Deep River) a small sandy beach is formed which unfortunately is strongly affected by the frequent winds and the waves that carry garbage. The area is also called Spilia (= cave), as near the beach there is one of the largest caves in Crete where a large vessel fits comfortably.
