It's really chalky and slippery so make sure you have decent shoes. Not much shade though, so it's not wise to plan a long in the summer months. geological feature in a quiet rural part of Crete. Worth a if you’re in the area. Doesn’t take long to walk around the whole area and climb up some of the rocks. There’s nothing there though other than the rock features so you don’t need long. Πρόκειται για ένα περίεργο σχηματισμό από ασπρόχωμα,χωρίς πέτρες που έχει δημιουργηθεί από την διάβρωση αιώνων αφήνοντας πίσω ασυνήθιστους λόφους. Το τοπίο μοιάζει σαν από άλλο πλανήτη και τα σχέδια που αφήνει στο χώμα η διάβρωση είναι πανέμορφα. Πιθανόν στο πέρασμα του χρόνου όλοι αυτοί οι σχηματισμοί να καταστραφούν από την διάβρωση. Πολυ καλη εποχη για επίσκεψη η άνοιξη καθώς τα δίπλα χωράφια είναι καταπράσινα και γεμάτα μαργαρίτες. A natural wonder amidst the Cretan landscape. Some of the other comments here talk about climbing these or even using mountain bikes. Don’t people have any common sense or respect? I’m pretty sure that climbing and biking on these would degrade and ruin this natural wonder. Geez!! Just look, admire and leave it as you found it for God’s sake! Unbelievable that such pyramids were created 7 mln yrs ago and are here up this date. Nice surrounding beautiful views. Very unusual rock formations, fun to explore. Not very popular. Unmanned, no entry fee. formation of white colored cliffs with cute horses and goats nearby. It's a 6-7 km oneway hike from Kissamos through picturesque small villages. It takes around 1:20h. Όμορφο και παράξενο (για Κρήτη) τοπίο. Έχει γίνει αρκετά γνωστό λόγο των social media και αν και δέχεται αρκετούς επισκέπτες, δεν υπάρχει σαφής και σηματοδοτημένη είσοδος και μονοπάτι για να πας. Φαίνεται από το δρόμο αλλά και πάλι μπαίνεις από χωματόδρομο και ξένες ιδιοκτησίες. Μακάρι να γινόταν αλλιώς It's something additional to your main trip. We decided to check it out on the way back from Elafonisi. It's close to the main road so... why not? You can take an photos there, especially when the evening light. You can stop by if you are somewhere near but it is not that exciting. The good thing is there aren’t any people. Ιδιαίτερου φυσικού κάλους μέρος. Μια μικρογραφία απο τα βαθη της Τουρκίας Προκόπι κλπ An geological formation due to land erosion. It's preferable to go on a sunny day, because rain can produce a lot of mud. Our to Monolithi Landscapes was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Situated along our route to Elafonisi Beach, this reserve is a hidden gem. The soft clay pyramids dotting the landscape made it feel like we had stepped onto another planet. The sheer uniqueness and surreal beauty of this place left us speechless. Standing in the midst of these geological wonders was a humbling experience, a testament to the incredible diversity of landscapes that our planet has to offer. If you happen to be passing by, I wholeheartedly recommend taking a moment to pause and admire this extraordinary sight. It's a genuinely amazing experience that adds an extra layer of magic to your journey. Stunning earth formations! Very serene and they look bigger in reality than how they look in pics. Must when you are on your way to Elafonissi. Ιδιαίτερο σημείο με πρόσβαση από το κέντρο της Ποταμίδας Κισάμου, στρίβοντας προς τα ανατολικά από το σχολείο. Μοιάζει σεληνιακό, μοιάζει εξωπραγματικό! Μπορεί κανείς να το περιηγηθεί ή και να σκαρφαλώσει για καλύτερη θέα! Wunderhübsches Kleinod an attraction, you can also park your car right there. Je za videt ampak nič posebnega. Je pa na poti za agio Sofia I loved visiting Potamida! It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place, surrounded by and those unique clay hills that make the landscape look magical. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk in nature. You can the small school museum, which gives an inspiring look into the evolution of the educational system in Greece and shares fascinating stories from the village’s past. Nearby, there’s a cave church dedicated to Archangel Michael — a beautiful spot to walk to and feel the divine presence in nature. Don’t miss the old watermill and the famous Komolithoi rocks, which are geologically — the clay there shows that this area was once part of the sea, and the women of the village are even used to putting it on their faces. The rocks also have cultural significance:the well-known actor Manos Katrakis practiced there to hear how his voice echoed. The whole village is full of beautiful spots, perfect for taking photos and capturing the atmosphere. After exploring, you can relax at the traditional village café for a coffee and a quiet moment. Potamida truly feels like a hidden gem — full of nature, history, and stories — definitely worth a visit! The photos are a mix of different spots from the village. Enjoy! If you love and beauty, you can this place. There are olive groves around. And white bald mountains. We climbed them, but be careful, it is quite slippery! The locals are friendly, waving their hands. Our hotel is located not far from this place, so we visited it the day before leaving, so as not to go far. sculptures, not easy to climb, but if you go on the right hand side, you can get almost on the top. Prepare yourself to have dust everywhere. There are horses around. A very nice place where you can spend around 1-2 hours, discovering the unique formations. We went there late afternoon towards evening so we had the entire place for ourselves. Parking down the main paved road is limited. Do not park under the trees, as goats can climb on top of the car to have easier access to the branches. I do not recommend trying to drive up the dirt road towards the formations. It's not worth it and you will damage the car. It's short and after a 2 minutes walk you are there anyway. Please, do not leave garbage behind! Nice place to see on the way. Nothing spectacular but its an mud formation for a quick visit. Warto zobaczyć na żywo. Fotogeniczne miejece, ale przede wszystkim poznać trochę historię tego znaleziska. Très joli lieu, inexpliqué mais à voir Quite a spectacular thing to see and for free. Seeing it in photos doesn’t do it justice. Definitely recommend checking it out. You may need proper footwear to climb up the clay structures but it’s doable in sandals too if you’re cautious. Completely free to visit. May have to park off road. There are spaces on the nearby road. Veduta interessante ma niente di più; i komolithi sono poco più in là di una strada senza nome che attraversa piccoli paesini senza particolari turisti o attrazioni. Non è chiara la strada da fare per avvicinarsi a piedi. Attenzione ad avvicinarsi per le numerose capre e qualche cane lasciato libero. Nessun parcheggio, nessuna indicazione specifica, per niente valorizzato. Όμορφο τοπίο, παράξενο και σπάνιο. Είναι όμως ότι δεις μπροστά σου και τίποτα άλλο το σημαντικό , σταματάς το βλέπεις βγάζεις φωτογραφίες και φεύγεις Se ci passate, fate una sosta. Piękne miejsce , warto zajechać na spacer wokół kolosów. A stunning sight to behold. The unique clay hills create an otherworldly landscape that is both fascinating and serene. Zjawiskowe, niepowtarzalne miejsce. Warto zobaczyć i poczuć. Energią aż szumi i łaskocze. Not safe to climb up, worth a quick on the main paths. Είναι ένα μέρος πού απλά εντυπωσιάζει για το πώς δημιουργήθηκε... A beautiful and very natural sight. Entry is free and practically nobody is there. Lovely stop back from the beach and enjoyed a short stroll around Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
