Dereköy is a Greek village located in the westernmost part of the island. Thanks to its strategic location and Pirgos Port, it has developed economically and socially more than other villages in the past. It was once the largest and most populous village of the island and even of Türkiye with 1950 households. The village, which is 14 km. away from the center, is built on the slopes of two opposite hills, Halakasi and Madrabodus Hills, and is divided into two by the road passing through the middle. One of the two settlements mentioned by the Ottoman navigator Piri Reis in the 16th century is Dereköy (the other is Kaleköy).

There are two churches open for worship in the village. There are also two churches in the village built in the early 1800s. One is the Hagia Marina Church at the entrance of the village and the other is the Koimesis Tis Theotokos Church in the bazaar.
