Xerokampos Beach is one of the most serene and authentic destinations on the southern coast of the Heraklion region, located in the Municipality of Viannos, between the seaside village of Keratokampos and Arvi.

It is an extensive, open coastline characterized by the rugged and imposing landscape of the surrounding mountains, offering a sense of absolute freedom. The shore is covered with fine pebbles and sand, while the waters of the Libyan Sea here are crystal clear and deepen relatively quickly, providing a refreshing swimming experience.

For travelers seeking information, Xerokampos is a completely unorganized beach, ideal for those wishing to avoid crowds and tourist infrastructure. Due to its size, it offers plenty of space for seclusion, while the lack of natural shade makes it necessary to bring your own equipment (umbrellas, etc.). Access is easy via the coastal road connecting Keratokampos to Arvi, with the beach stretching right below the road. The area is perfect for relaxation and snorkeling, and visitors should come prepared with water and food. However, its close proximity to Keratokampos and Arvi allows for easy access to taverns and shops for supplies or a traditional meal after a swim.
