Petrigiari


Petrigiari or Kakopetros beach is a small beach at the exit of a small but impressive and complitely unknown gorge. The gorge defines the southern edge of Asterousia mountains and creates a picture of striking beauty, especially when you approach this remote region by boat.  

Situated at the southern side of the Asterousia mountains with a distance of more than 75 kilometres far from Heraklion and some 20 kilometres far from Tsoutsouros and 2,5 km from Maridaki beach-village.

There is no dirt road or any other way of access, rather than by boat from the Tsoutsouros area or the Tris Ekklisies village (Three Churches) in the west. This small beach of no more than 30 meters long, is equally impressive and the whole image creates a feeling of total isolation in which the natural beauties speak for themselves in the eyes and hearts of visitors.

The beach is located on the southern coast of Asterousia mountains, in Heraklion prefecture and 68 km far from Heraklion city. The area is only accessible by boat and the beauty is indescribable. 

It has dark sand and huge rocks raised right and left which create striking shadows and hollows. The water has different colors giving a tropical tinge to the whole scene. It is between the beaches of Agios Nikitas (see Agios Nikitas Monastery and Beach) and the village of Tris Ekklisies (Three Churches village).

More specifically, the distance from the westernmost beach is one kilometer. The beach and the area in general is suitable for fishing and swimming for those seeking the ultimate privacy, away from prying eyes and every element of culture.

Situated at the southern side of the Asterousia mountains with a distance of more than 85 kilometres far from Heraklion at the South - Southeast and some 20 kilometres far from Tsoutsouros and 15 km from Maridaki beach-village, Aghios Nikitas is a pebbly beach affected by the winds; what is interesting is the palm tree wood, fortunately still unknown to big crowds.  Not organised at all , it does not offer any accommodation or food and drink facilities; you will love the beach only if you are fan of isolation, of natural environment and...of the palm trees.Access from Heraklion is possible only by rented or private cars and motorbikes through a not asphalted roadway from Tsoutsouros. Driving from Maridaki, you will find the beach after you have passed the Monastery of Aghios Nikitas.
