Latest reviews on Xiro Chorio's beaches

Rethymnon beach
10 Maxwell Kellerman

The beach is absolutely stunning and mostly covered in sand. However, there are some big pebbles when you first enter the water. Fortunately, the water becomes shallow and sandy about 10 meters from the shore. This beach is perfect for watching the sunrise or sunset.

Pervolia beach II

There seems to be a sewage system in place at the beach, as it emits a strong sewage odor that permeates the entire area. It's quite challenging to tolerate. During our late night walk yesterday, we observed the sewage system in full operation. The following morning, when we went for a swim, we immediately noticed garbage washing up on the shore. We even witnessed brown streams in the water. As a result, we promptly returned to our apartment to take a shower. However, when there is no sewage issue, the water becomes beautifully clear and warm, making it a delightful experience to swim in. Additionally, it appears that they make an effort to suppress reviews that mention this problem.

Beach Adelianos Kampos

We had a great time at the Siroccos beach bar! When you purchase a drink or food, you receive complimentary sunbeds for the entire day. The beach is a combination of sand and pebbles, but entering the water can be tricky. I would recommend wearing water shoes. In terms of depth, it is generally smoother compared to other beaches, but it is important to be cautious with your steps. There are some large, pointy underwater rocks with gaps between them where one could easily get their foot caught. However, if you successfully navigate through this area, you will find a leveled rock platform about 2 meters from the shore, which is approximately 1.5-1.7 meters deep. If you're fortunate enough to visit on a day with calm waves, you can have an amazing time. Unfortunately, high or strong waves do not make it enjoyable.

Sfakaki beach
10 Larissa N.

It's an absolutely wonderful place to spend your vacation, especially with your loved ones! My sister and I arrived a little late, but the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Once we entered our room, the room service surprised us with two plates for dinner - it was such a sweet gesture from the hotel. We had booked a room with breakfast included, and it was decent... but I would suggest adding more fruit options, as I prefer having a variety of fruits in the morning. Currently, there was only one option - an orange. The view from the room is incredible, and the entrance with all the flowers is simply breathtaking. The swimming pool is open all day, so there's no limited time to enjoy it. I'm actually considering booking directly for my next year's vacation right now, especially since it would be a shame not to share such an amazing place with my entire family.

The scenery is quite lovely, situated in the land of Greece. However, don't let the picturesque view fool you into thinking this beach is anything special. It's just another typical beach with sand and water. Don't expect any unique features or activities to make your visit memorable.

This is an exquisite spot to indulge in a cup of coffee and take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear sea water. Additionally, there is a charming tavern on site that serves delectable cuisine. The picturesque old church adds to the allure of the location, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Moreover, a convenient shower with fresh water is situated in the center of the small rocky beach, making it a perfect place to unwind and recharge.
