Key features
Beach overall scores
Kalami beach (Crete) is located outside the Asprolithos 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 Crete island and the correct question is not how to get to Kalami beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning with its wild beauty and clear, deep waters. Additionally, the gray fine pebbles add a unique touch to the overall scenery. It's worth mentioning that the beach is immaculately clean and completely deserted, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling."
René Antoinet.
"The beach was absolutely stunning, although my visit was marred by a Greek family with boisterous children who didn't seem to care about the other beachgoers. Additionally, the beach had lovely gray fine pebbles that added to its natural beauty."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Kalami beach (Crete island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Kalami beach (Crete island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Kalami beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
