With its small natural harbour (for the small boats of the locals), this is a quiet secluded beach with pebbles, sand and very clear water. A few tamarisks offer some shade to the visitors.
A passable dirt-road leads here; and the harbour is connected to Aghia Irini by another path.
Just a few metres off from Limani Ammatou is a small sheltered beach with this peculiar name.
It has small pebbles, crystalline blue waters and all around towering cliffs – creating a wild but also beautiful landscape. Off shore by a few hundred metres are a cluster of islets, collectively known as Kavali. Basically they are three steep rocky outcrops that provide shelter for predatory birds – namely the migratory varvakia hawk (mavroperites, or Eleanor’s falcon).
A little before Xerokampos is a long beach, the largest in the region. It has pale-coloured sands and clear turquoise and shallow waters. Quiet, it lacks any organization, though you can find some tavernas and rentable rooms close-by.
The view over the Libyan sea is enchanting; from the beach you can partake of a most spectacular sunset over the three Kavila islets and Koufonisi to the southwest.
Right next door, on the other side of Cape Trachilos, are some small coves with their beaches – very close to Xerokampos. The first is called Gerontolakos.

The Rural Greece is an online portal that connects travellers with unique destinations and local businesses in the countryside, offering authentic experiences through activities that highlight nature, traditions and culture.
For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.
Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.
This type of tourism is based on three pillars:
With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.
For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.
Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
