The beach of Geropotamos on the island of Crete

Geropotamos is a beautiful beach where a river (the Geropotamos) floats into the sea. It is about 3 kilometers west of the resort of Bali and 17 km from Rethymno. The beach is reached by an unpaved road on the opposite side of the main road (not from the side of the coast itself). It is sandy beach with some pebbles and rocks around it, and the sea water is quite cold because the river flows into the sea. On the beach there there is a cantina serving drinks during the high season and there are some umbrellas and sunbeds for rent, but most of the beach is not organized. Since the beach is facing north there can sometimes be a strong wind blowing here.
