The South and East Coasts

To the south is the plain of Katogís, the most fertile area on the island, planted with wheat and vines. This suffered greatly in the 1953 earthquake and the effect on the now-fractured topography is obvious. The southern coast has some lovely beaches, and the most popular and spectacular are the red sand stretches of Mégas Lákkos and its continuation, Xí › [map].

No more rocking

Just along from Xí beach, close to Cape Akrotíri, is the Kounópetra (the name literally means, ‘rocking stone’). This flat slab of stone used to rock in the waves, but the 1953 earthquake disturbed its balance, so that it no longer moves.
