Platis Gialos
One of the most famous beaches in Kalymnos is Platis Yialos.
Located near Panormos, the reputation of Platis Yialos comes not only from its very clear sea waters, but mainly from the amazing sunsets that one can enjoy from the coast.
The key feature of the beach is its black sand that stands in stark contrast with the deep blue waters.

The beach Melitsachas is located on the northwest part of Kalymnos, near the village Myrties. The beach is sandy with pebbles.
During summer, few taverns do serve the guests and bathers with delicacies, while there are also rooms to let.
Kantouni beach is a sandy beach, 8.5 kilometers away from Pothia. In fact, it is located in Panormos area which-apart from its natural beauty- is famous for the beaches that surround it.
Kantouni is the favorite choice of young people, because the shops and the beach bars that lie in there are open almost 24 hours a day.
Panormos is situated in the western part of the valley of Pothia, in the middle of major croplands.
Panormos attracts many visitors thanks to the beautiful nature that surrounds it, the beaches that can be found close to it (Kantouni, Linaria, Platis Gialos), and its steep rocks that are suitable for climbing and mountaineering.
Remnants of ancient pottery have been found at the site of Tsoukalaria, suggesting thus that Panormos was inhabited since ancient times.
Another option in the area of Panormos is the sandy beach Linaria. Although it is in a short distance from Kantouni, the ambience in Linaria beach is quieter and more family-oriented.
If you get hungry, the fish taverns that serve fresh fish and other seafood dishes will be the next stop after your plunge.
