The small reservoir of Livada is located 800 meters north of the village of Thrapsano. Local people used to exploit clay from the area and thus a pond was created; this pond was enlarged and transformed to the reservoir of Livada. Today the reservoir covers an area of 21.000sq.m. and stores approximately 210.000cub.m. of water.

Thrapsano is identified with pottery and particularly with the manufacture of “pitharia”, as its residents are considered descendants of the Minoan potters. Traditionally therefore the Thrapsano resident “Thrapsaniotis” is identified even today with the potter and in particular with the name of “pitharas”.
