Charitou Lakos Beach is one of the most unique and quiet spots in Xerokampos, Lasithi, often overlooked by the crowds as it is nestled between more famous shores like Mazida Ammos and Lygias Lakos.

The name "Lakos" (meaning hollow or pit) refers to the local geomorphology, as the beach is formed within a coastal indentation that provides natural shelter. It features fine sand and small pebbles, surrounded by the typical, arid, and imposing landscape of Eastern Crete. Its waters are crystal-clear, deep blue, and offer a unique sense of freshness and purity.

The hallmark of Charitou Lakos is its total seclusion. Even when the main beaches of Xerokampos are busy, visitors can find peace here. It is a destination preferred by those seeking direct contact with nature, away from umbrellas, sunbeds, and any form of development. The rocky seabed at the edges of the beach is ideal for snorkeling.

Access is relatively easy via the Xerokampos road network, though a short walk is required to reach the shore. It is the perfect choice for those searching for a "personal paradise" and wanting to enjoy the Libyan Sea in its most authentic form.
