Patresh is located in three short hills, in which has 2 little rivers. The rivers under the village gave the beginning of the small river Elia, which is part of river Qntra.

There little rivers are very important for the village, because around them are build a lot of stoned fountains and wells. In the past , the water of the rivers watered the lands there and helped to the 6 mills ,which were there. Also there little rivers separate the village in 3 parts : north, middle and sounth. The North part is called Batashka. The middle part is called THE MIDDLE ONE. It is the oldest part of the village. The South part is called Daskotska.
