At Platis Gialos
Platis Gialos is a wide beach on the west side of Kalymnos. Although very popular with locals, it is not usually overcrowded as it is off the tourist track. It is located near the village of Panormos, offering great view of the Aegean Sea and the opposite islet of Agia Kyriaki. What sets off Platis Gialos from other beaches on Kalymnos is its coast which is covered with dark sand and pebbles, a reminder that this part of the Aegean is still volcanic. The water is blue and incredibly clean. It has an interesting seabed, ideal for snorkeling. On the beach there are some rocks from where the most daring can dive. Platis Gialos is also known for the amazing sunsets that one can enjoy from the coast.
The beaches of Linaria and Kantouni lie to the south, not far from Platis Gialos. Platis Gialos does have food and drink facilities close by. Parasols and sunbeds for hire are also available. Above the beach lies the village of the same name where there are several hotels and some private rooms to rent.
