Varkotopi Beach is one of the quiet coastal destinations on the northern shores of the Lasithi prefecture, east of Mochlos.

Geographically, it is located on a stretch of coastline characterized by gentle formations, offering direct access to the Cretan Sea.

The landscape around the beach is simple and maintains its natural serenity, despite the presence of some holiday homes and tourist accommodations in the wider area. The shore is situated between other similar locations in the region, such as Ryakaki Beach to the east, forming a peaceful seafront away from large crowds.

Access to Varkotopi is via the local road network connecting the area's settlements with the coastline. Due to its location, the beach is suitable for visitors seeking an unpretentious spot for swimming, combining clear waters with the tranquility of the rural and coastal landscape of eastern Crete.
