My Rating Overall
4 = very good beach, would go out our way to swim there again
Beach
Sand
Sea Floor
S = sand
Water
5 = the sea water was some the best for swimming. We would
go way out of our way to swimm there again
(These are just my own unscientific observation of the water feel
and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool
instead of warm. We don' like visible floating particles
of any kind
or algae settled
on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is common
Some beach areas might be suitable for nude swimming
Access
Good = paved road all the way to the beach, parking near
the beach
Amenities
Restaurant
Town within walking distance
RV / Camper Accessibility
Campers explicitly forbidden
Snorkeling
P = looks promising but I did not dive
Notes
The drive to Xerokampos is spectacular after the town of Ziros.
There are several beaches in the area, most the golden fine sand
variety. This review is based on our visit to the small beach in
front of Akrogiali restaurant, but we did survey most of the other
beaches in the area.
