Katevati Beach

Katevati Beach

Uncategorized

In the eastern part of the peninsula called “Glaros” there is the small beach of Katevati, which has large pebbles. It has the steep Talaia Mountains in the background. The seabed, quite rocky, is ideal for fishing and masking. It is not organized at all, so if you come here, make sure you have the essentials with you. Also, the beach faces east and is protected from the usual winds.

Above the beach stands an iconostasis commemorating a tragic story that took place on the beach. After the occupation of Crete, the Germans turned the beach into a minefield to prevent British landings. In March 1943, the shepherd Ioannis Protogerakis crossed the safety wire for an unknown reason and was killed by a mine. Residents who heard the explosion reached the spot and Georgios Kalivianakis, a close friend of the Protogerakis, attempting to carry the corpse, was crippled by a new explosion. The deceased’s mother and his friend’s father managed to move the two men, but unfortunately they both died. The two friends were buried in the same grave on the next day.
