Overview

Kampoulas Beach is a small, quiet, and relatively unknown beach located between Tsoutsouros and Keratokampos, on Crete’s southern coastline. Hidden away just off the coastal road, this beach is a peaceful retreat surrounded by rugged hills and open sea views. Its calm, clear waters and remote feel make it perfect for travelers looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the untouched side of Crete.\n\rThe beach is mostly pebbly with some sandy spots, and it remains unorganized — there are no sunbeds or facilities, so bring everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The isolation of Kampoulas gives it a very laid-back, “secret beach” vibe, loved by nature lovers and those who enjoy simple, raw beauty.
