The settlement is 65 km south of Heraklion, to the road towards Mesochori village. After Mesochori you have to cover 20 km, most of it being a bad dirt road, passing through Asterousia Mountains. A brook reaching the coast is also formed by some springs gushing potable water. The waters are deep and cool due to the springs and the coast is covered with thin pebbles. There also several bays with caves formed along the shore. In the settlement you will find a big square with springs, plane trees and a tavern.
