Menies bay is where the sanctuary of Diktynna is located on the peninsula of Rodopou. A little piece of paradise at the end of a long (17km) bumpy dirt road that still invites you to have a swim even in late January.
The temple of Diktynna was located on the hill to the right (south) of the beach and several objects found there - such as the statue of Diktynna with a hound - are exhibited in the archaeological museum of Chania.
Access is possible only by a 4WD car , as well as by private or rented special motorbikes, since the 23 kilometers unasphalted road, usually being in bad condition, is difficult for conventional vehicles.

The barren peninsula of Rodopou only has a few villages clustered at its base and the rest of it is uninhabited. A paved road goes as far as Afrata village, then becomes a dirt track which heads north.
It is possible to reach the Diktynna Sanctuary (Menies Beach) at the northern end of the peninsula with a 4x4 vehicle. This was the most important religious sanctuary in the region under the Romans
