Geropotamos main beach is located at about 18 km east of Rethymno and can be easily accessed by the highway by car or public bus. The beach was named after Geropotamos river that flows there and ends up in the sea right on its east side. The waters are very cool due to the river, which also forms a small lake at its mouth to the beach. The area is not organized, leaving the natural beauty of the area intact, but you will find a few sunbeds and umbrellas and a small canteen for coffee and light snacks. Despite the easy access the beach is usually not crowded but it is greatly affected by north winds, just like the entire north coast of the island.
