User reviews
"This beach is often regarded as the most stunning one in Kithira. However, getting there requires a difficult and demanding journey by both car and foot, so it's crucial to bring appropriate footwear, a hat, and water. Also, don't rely solely on Google Maps as the final few kilometers are more of a path than a proper road."
Nina Ralston.
"This beach is definitely worth the effort of hiking or climbing to reach it. It offers a unique and adventurous experience that you won't find at any other beach in Kythira. While it may not be suitable for everyone, it is undoubtedly the best beach on the island."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Paralia Kalami (Kithira 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 Paralia Kalami (Kithira 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 Paralia Kalami 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.
