Xigia Sulfur Beach

About This Place

Xigia Beach is a unique natural beach on the northwest coast of Zakynthos (Zante), Greece, known for its natural underwater sulfur springs that bubble up through the rocky seafloor. The sulfur-infused water is said to have therapeutic and skin-softening properties, and the small pebbly cove has a distinctive egg-like scent where the springs are most active. The beach sits at the base of dramatic cliffs and is surrounded by lush green vegetation, making it one of the more unusual and scenic spots on the island.
