The name Asprolithos (white stones) derives from the white pebbles which can be found at the beach. Asprolithos beach is a picturesque sand and pebble beach in the southeast coast of Crete in between Kalo Nero (which means “Good Water”) settlement and very close to Goudouras village, 12km east of the tourist resort of Makrigialos and close to the Kapsa Monastery. About 700m east of South Chrissi beach at Chrissi Island, south of Ierapetra city, you can find another pebble/sand beach which is Mikronisi beach. Oposite the beach and 500m far, you see the Mikronisi island, a rocky islet which covers 11,7 hectares. The waters around the small island and on to the Mikronisi beach are shallow. The beach of Koutsouras is situated at a distance of 55 kilometers far from Agios Nikolaos, 35km away from Sitia on the way to Ierapetra, which is seat of the Makris Gialos municipality, at the Southeast and 20 kilometers eastern to Ierapetra, in front of the homonymous village, with some 800 permanent residents. The beach is pebbly and well protected from the north winds. For people that like to see more closeby beaches in Kalives or Almirida area, there are some other options. In the east next to the village of Kalives (1km to east and 1km west of Almirida beach) are the two (small) beaches of Kera, one sandy and one - the one where the church is - more a pebble beach. |
