About Kalamaki

Kalamaki is a beach about 110 m long, 1.6 km from Daratsos (West). It faces north-northeast: wind from the south-southwest blows off the land here and flattens the water, while wind and swell from the north-northeast roll straight in. OpenStreetMap shows 6 places to eat or drink within 400 m and 23 hotels or apartments within 600 m nearby.
