Papadakion Beach is one of the best-kept secrets of Xerokampos, located at the southeastern tip of the Lasithi region.
This is a very small, almost "private" cove, situated just a short distance from the area's larger and more famous beaches, offering total seclusion.
The beach’s main feature is the impressive rock formations that surround it, creating a sheltered and intimate environment. The shore boasts fine sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters with stunning clarity. Due to the rocky seabed at its edges, it is an excellent destination for snorkeling enthusiasts, as the marine life in the area is vibrant and easily visible from the surface.
Papadakion Beach is completely unorganized, fully preserving its pristine character. Access is via the main road of Xerokampos, with a short path leading down to the water's edge. It is the perfect choice for those who wish to escape the crowds and enjoy a swim in a landscape that feels untouched by time, with only the sound of the Libyan Sea's waves as company.
