Beaches near to Kalamaki Beach:
| A small family friendly place with a sandy beach and shallow water also offering boat trips to Marathonisi Island and the Keri Caves |
Argassi Beach (138 Comments)  Often criticised, mainly because in many places there is no beach! At least the water is shallow with a sandy bottom making it good for bathing. |
4.1  |
Kalamaki Beach (209 Comments) 4.1  Probably the best place to actually see a turtle. Just wade about in the shallow water and if they are about you will soon spot one. |
Laganas Beach (162 Comments)  It's as busy as you'd expect from a Club 18-30 resort, but keep walking and you'll find a long stretch of beach where development has been prevented by the Marine Park. |
