Xerokampos

The landscape around Xerokampos is dry and rocky, with low Mediterranean scrub meeting the Libyan Sea, which has shaped both its scattered settlement pattern and small-scale farming. This quiet corner of southeastern Crete occupies a broad coastal area of coves and sandy shores rather than a built-up resort strip. Xerokampos belongs to the wider Sitia region, celebrated for its olive oil, a protected product of eastern Crete’s longstanding agricultural tradition. The road inland climbs towards the plateau villages, underlining the contrast between Crete’s exposed southern coast and its rugged interior.
