Name: Agrilaopotamos
Address: GR

Overview

Agrilaopotamos is a spot on the west coast of the southern tip of Karpathos, near Secret Beach. The spot takes its name from the small river (potamos) that flows into the sea here. Facing west, the beach receives the Meltemi as side-onshore, offering safer sailing than the east coast spots. The setting is wild and isolated, typical of southern Karpathos.
