Back to newsA tree planting initiative took place in Kato Zakros and Xerokampos, two coastal villages on the eastern tip of the Lasithi region in Crete. Both locations are popular with visitors seeking quieter, less developed corners of the island. Kato Zakros is known for its Minoan palace archaeological site and scenic gorge walk, while Xerokampos offers a remote beach setting. The reforestation effort reflects ongoing environmental work in the area to restore and maintain the natural landscape. Visitors to this part of Crete can expect the surroundings to remain well-preserved. The eastern Lasithi coast is accessible by car from Sitia, roughly 40 kilometers away, and the area rewards travelers who make the journey with uncrowded beaches and significant archaeological heritage.
