Keratokampos, Herakleion, Crete
Paralia Xerokampou is a beautiful and relatively untouched beach located near the village of Keratokampos, along the southern coast of Crete. The name "Xerokampos" comes from the Greek words for "dry" and "beach," referring to the arid and rugged landscape that surrounds this quiet spot. The beach is characterized by fine pebbles and crystal-clear waters, with a tranquil atmosphere perfect for relaxation and swimming. It remains largely unorganized, so you won’t find many facilities here, making it a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the crowds. The surrounding cliffs and natural beauty add to its charm, offering great opportunities for hiking and exploration.
