Αrea description
Tsoutsouras or Tsoutsouros (deriving from the Venetian word Zuzzuro) is
located 63km south of  Heraklion , at the exit of the imposing Gorge of
Mindris. It is built on the site of the ancient city Inatos, which was the
port of  Priansos  (located near Kasteliana village). More
precisely, Tsoutsouras consists of the two united settlements of Pera
Tsoutsouros and Tsoutsouros, which today are the harbor of  Arkalochori .
The area is very well organized and developed touristically, but still is a
destination for quiet holidays.
In front of the village there is the small harbor of Tsoutsouras. East and
west of the port, there are two long sheltered bays with a total length of
2km, which have lovely coarse sand and crystal clear water. The beach is
slightly organized with umbrellas and several tamarisk trees around. It is
ideal for family holidays, because all necessary facilities for
accommodation, entertainment and food are in close proximity. To
remain secluded, you can walk to the east end of the beach with the
sandhills. The easternmost part is called Limniara and hosts the sea
cave Pourgonero. You can also use Tsoutsouras as a base for exploring
the other surrounding beaches.
It is noteworthy to mention that swimming in Tsoutsouras has been
traditionally considered therapeutic and healing by many Cretans,
because of its high concentration of salt and iodine, assisting with
healing musculoskeletal and orthopedic problems.
West of Tsoutsouras, you can see two parallel mountains, which locals
call Zeus and Hera, because they remind of two lying bodies. According
to mythology, the king Asterion brought up in these mountains the sons
of Zeus, namely Minos, Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon. They later reigned
at Knossos, Pheastus and Malia respectively, ruling the first great
European civilization. West of the harbor, in Kerkelos area (or Zeus’
paw), traces of ancient Inatos, in and out of the sea, have been found.
South of Kerkelos, the coast is full of beautiful and unique karstic cave
formations. Locals have reported that in one of them, called Drakospilia,

they had found a dragon skeleton, which they burned in order to make
space for seeking for ancient treasures. The story seems fantastic, but
the several testimonies of people who had seen the dragon have
confused the researchers. A Minoan settlement has been excavated in
the area Aliori, the east end of the beach.
