This beach is truly stunning and deserves a five-star rating. However, the weekends can be a bit overwhelming with an influx of visitors who may not appreciate the peace and serenity that others seek for relaxation. It's a shame that the tranquility can be disrupted, but overall, the beauty of the beach still shines through.

Xerokambos boasts a stunning beach that stands out as the epitome of beauty. The left side of the beach offers mesmerizing underwater views that are simply breathtaking. The serene atmosphere of the beach is a sight to behold, and it's not crowded at all, making it feel like a private oasis. The drive from Agios Nikolaos may take up to two hours, but the beauty of the beach makes it well worth the trip.

The absence of wind coupled with the pebbled shoreline makes for a serene atmosphere at this beach. The turquoise and crystal clear waters are truly a sight to behold and create a paradise-like experience.

Although the beach has crystal-clear waters and stunning scenery, it's a shame that there are no umbrellas to provide some much-needed shade. Despite the natural beauty, the lack of basic amenities can make for an uncomfortable experience under the scorching sun.
