Xerokampos Beach is a tranquil seaside gem located on the southeastern coast of Lassithi, Crete. Positioned about 103 km from Agios Nikolaos and 20 km from the mountainous village of Ziros, Xerokampos offers a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
The beach is known for its soft golden sand, crystal-clear waters, and the authentic charm of its surroundings. Although summer afternoons can be breezy due to strong winds, by late August the weather is calm—ideal for swimming and sunbathing.
Despite its rising popularity, Xerokampos has retained its family-friendly and traditional character. A handful of taverns and rental rooms are scattered along the shore, offering delicious local cuisine and stunning views over the Libyan Sea.
If you visit around August 29th, you can join the locals in celebrating the Feast of Saint John with a traditional panigiri (festival) full of music, food, and authentic Cretan culture.
Explore this hidden paradise with Autoclub car rental and uncover the peaceful beauty of eastern Crete.
