Chrisistomos is a small coastal hamlet 2km east of Kali Limenes and 9km west of Lendas beach, at the southern slopes of Asterousia Mountains, Heraklion Prefecture. It is a beautiful beach with some accommodation facilities and tavernas but is not organized.
On the road from Kali Limenes to Lendas (15km), you can find some nice secluded coves and pebble beaches. To reach the settlement you take the road Heraklion city - Mires - Pobia village - Chrisostomos. The distance from Heraklion city is 71 km.
The fertile valley of Platia Peramata is used for growing early vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc., since the temperature here is always high. Characteristic of the warm climate is that the swallows do not leave the area in winter.On the west end of the beach there is a "line" of rocks, that heads towards the small islet of Trafos. This is the old dock of the ancient city Lassea. The rocks were in that place since 1960s, when they were used for the construction of the Oil Tanks of Kali Limenes.
On the island and on the beach, opposite Trafos, you can still see remains of the ancient town of Lasea. The beach continues west of Trafos, creating a separate beach called Segrezo Ryaki that faces west. This beach is very close to the Roman cemetery that has been found here. It is secluded and ideal for nudism, but is also rockier than the main beach. On the west end, there is a spring having water all year round. There is another small pebbly beach 1km east of Chrysostomos, that is called Maha. It is unorganised but there are some rooms and a tavern nearby.
