One passes by the gorge of Xerokambos during the drive from Zakros to Xerókambos. There is no specific route, therefore passing through does require some caution. The elevation difference is approximately 100 metres.
After the location of Agrilia, at the spot where the many branches of the gorge unite, the scenery is truly magnificent. From this point until the outlet at the beach, the distance is approximately 1,5 kilometre.
At the Xerokambos plain, where the gorge ends up, there are many exquisite, untouched beaches, with crystal-clear waters.
