There are two roads to go to Xerokambos village. The road from Zakros to Xerokambos is a new asphalt road (9 km). From Sitia, drive the Makrigialos and Piskokefalo road. After 10 km, in Episkopi, turn left to Handras, Ziros, Hametoulo and Xerokambos (45 km from Sitia, on a new surfaced road). There is a small temporary lagoon in the northern part of the Xerokambos plain (dry from the end of May). In March and April tavernas are not necessarily open.
Xerokampos is an old settlement. It is first recorded in the 1583 Venetian census. The ancients were certainly aware of the beauty of this place and its important position and the site has been inhabited since the Minoan times (read about the Hellenistic town on Xerokambos).
