We have shooted some impressive photos from the same spot as the area of Avdou, Potamies and Sfentyli is one of our favorite in Crete for Cycling.

Aposelemis artificial lake with a capacity of 30.000.000 cubic meters is the biggest lake in Crete. the water springs from the Dikti mountains and Lasithi Plateau. In the past the waters from Lasithi plateau used to pass from Chonos through undreground caves and siphons down to Mesada area at Agios Georgios church and then to Aposelemis river.
