The town is located on the south coast, between Agia Galini and Matala. It has a population of about 5,500 people (10,000 for the municipal unit). In 2005, a major container harbour and free-trade zone had been rumored to be built in the area. As of January 2009, it appears the project has been canceled, in part due to the strong opposition from the local population.
