Gefira beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Kalymnos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Kalimnos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Gefira beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach appears to be aesthetically pleasing, however, it should be noted that after 2pm during the month of October, there is a lack of sunlight. This particular beach is among the three closest to the port and is considered to be the finest of the three. However, it is relatively small in size."

Lena Kowalska

"The beach is absolutely stunning, with ample shade and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming. I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day in the sun."
