Firopotamos
Φυροπόταμος
A small bay on the north coast, with a white chapel on a headland, colorful fishermen’s houses and old mining ruins. The water is clear and good for snorkelling.
Firopotamos is a small bay ringed by rocks. At its mouth stands the little white Church of St. Nicholas, a classic composition, and nearby are stone remains from the mining era. The bay has a small beach and some shade, with moderate depth suitable for swimming and snorkelling. It is about a 10-minute drive from Plaka. The downhill dirt road is narrow, and parking is hard to find in peak season. There are very few facilities, so bring your own drinking water.
