Ampelos Beach is one of the most picturesque and beloved spots in Xerokampos, located at the southeastern tip of Crete in the Lasithi region.

Situated in the heart of the settlement, it serves as a central point for visitors, perfectly blending the raw beauty of the Libyan Sea with easy accessibility.

The beach is characterized by its unique, fine golden sand and shallow, crystal-clear waters that showcase every shade of turquoise. Because of its gentle slope and calm waters, it is ideal for families with children. The scattered rock formations at its edges add a touch of wild charm to the scenery. Right next to it, you can find the famous natural clay beaches (such as Gerontolakkos), where visitors often enjoy a free, natural clay spa treatment.

While Xerokampos maintains a quiet and alternative character, Ampelos offers convenient amenities, with traditional tavernas and local studios just a short walk away. It is the perfect starting point to explore the neighboring coves or simply to relax while gazing at the Kavalli islets dominating the horizon.
