XEROKAMPOS
Xerokampos is located 103km southeast of Agios Nikolaos, 47km south of Sitia and 69km east of Ierapetra. Because of the long distances from the major cities of Lassithi prefecture, the settlement of Xerokampos is one of the most remote areas of the island. It can be accessed primarily through the road connecting the town of Sitia.
Xerokampos wild mountains are in direct contrast to the calm sea and the beautiful beaches.
