Kalamia Beach — Attraction in Argostoli Municipality

Kalamia Beach is a true paradise, boasting a sea so stunning and crystal-clear that a snorkel mask almost feels unnecessary. Accessible by foot via a dirt trail, the beach is easily reachable, even when accompanied by children. You can park your car for free on the street, and if spots are scarce, there's a paid parking option nearby for 7 euros.

The beach provides umbrella rentals for 10 euros each, and there's a well-equipped bar where you can quench your thirst and savor delicious bites. On the left side of the beach, captivating caves await, perfect for capturing stunning photographs. Kalamia Beach is an ideal destination for snorkeling enthusiasts, as the abundance of fish beneath the water's surface creates a mesmerizing underwater world.

The beach is sandy but gets pebbly towards the shoreline, and there is the odd whiff of sulphur coming from somewhere, but all in all a very pleasant...

Set the direction to "Sto Psito" restaurant at the top, they have a private parking lot, but there's a public just in the other side of the road. Then you have to descend the road and find a very narrow dirty road alley to go down to the beach. It's a tiny hike, doable to go with kids, if you are elderly just go very slow and take extra care, it's not hard. I noted there's another path if you descend further in the road, I just don't know if it's easier.

The beach it's beautiful, and yes there's a "funny smell" that you feel just for 10secs every 1 hour, it's random because sometimes I noticed and my wife not, and vice versa, is not something unpleasant that you would notice all the times, it will not disturb your joy of the...
