Crete South Coast - A twisty road heads towards to Xerokampos, a hidden beach with some taverns in the South East of Crete.
The 3 beaches of Xerokampos are covered with white sand. The small salt lake of Xerokampos forming a lagoon, an ideal refuge for birds, Flamingos! In the summer time you´ll see a dry lake, but when you visit xerokampos in the winter time or spring time you will see it is flooded with water. From the North coastal town Sitia to Xerokampos you have to drive 1 hour (44km): The nearest village is Zakros, 11 Km 20 minutes drive. From Airport Heraklion to Xerokampos 3 hours drive 167 km. To the south coast town Ierapetra 1 hour 40 minutes drive. Due to the long distances from the towns of Lassithi, Xerokambos is one of the most remote areas of the island. Petrol station, Pharmacy or butcher can be found at the Coastal Village Zakros 20 minutes drive, for withdrawing cash (ATM) you have to drive up to the mountain Village Ziros 44 Km, 30 minutes drive.
Xerokambos is a quiet remote hamlet far away from all.
We know the beaches of xerokambos before the paved road was built. It was a little adventure to get to Xerokambos.
Nowadays Xerokambos can be reached on a well made road, which passes a mountain chain of about 600 metres.
Of course Xerokambos is a perfect location to have a pure bathing holiday and a perfect place for snorkeling, diving and fishing.
