Considering a holiday to the dreamy Dodecanese? Family-friendly stretches, romantic bays and bustling beaches await. You’re guaranteed to find a beach for you in Kalymnos.

Platis Yialos Beach

This holiday honeypot boasts modern bars and a trendy crowd, so if you fancy a mouth-watering cocktail after a day soaking up the sun, this is the spot. With clear waters and silky sand, you’ll have the perfect set up for a day well spent on the beach.

Gefyra Beach

Pebbles and sand make up this quaint beach, along with a few cosy tavernas, and the colour of the sea will have you dreaming for days. Relax on a sunbed and admire the natural greenery shrouding Gefyra’s mysterious cave. There’s also a hidden cove between Gefyra and Rovinia, if you like a bit more privacy.

Kantouni Beach

You’ve hit the nail on the head if you go where the locals frequent. Kantouni Beach is a firm favourite, so it can get quite busy due to its long sandy stretch and walking distance from Panormos. Enjoy the scenery – it’s blessed with a mountainous backdrop, green forests and the Holy Cross Monastery in the distance.

Massouri Beach

If brilliant facilities are what you’re looking for, call off the search. We’re talking sports, a play area and delicious restaurants. From hikers to families with little ones, Massouri Beach is popular with everyone. It’s easily accessible by bus from Pothia too. Why not sample something tasty from the beach’s snack bar?

Myrties Beach

Swimmers and snorkellers should make a beeline for Myrties Beach. The clear waters are perfect for observing marine life, and you can reach the port where small fishing boats set sail to Telendos Island. There are only around 50 inhabitants on this tiny isle, so it’s worth the 10-minute ride to tuck into some traditional Greek dishes or soak up the peace.

Arginonta Beach

For a clean, idyllic plot, head to Arginonta Beach. It’s paired with a charming village that loves to welcome tourists. There aren’t as many eateries or facilities on this beach, but there’s a little café and sunbeds with umbrellas to rent. This picturesque bay is the epitome of serenity.

Linaria Beach

Soft waves, seafood and relaxation... what more could you want? We recommend staying until noon for a local lamb dish and refreshing cocktails. You’ll be able to see hiking enthusiasts lighting up the mountains while the sun sets over the Aegan Sea. Linaria Beach a great option if you prefer a tranquil location.

So, which beach will it be? The choice is yours!
