Kalamaki is located a short distance along the coast from the largest island resort of
Laganas.
A smaller resort and not quite as lively as it's neighbour,
Kalamaki attracts a wide range of tourists. The main road offers the usual array of gift shops, souvenirs, clothes shops, leather goods, vehicle hire and mini markets and there is a large variety of restaurants and snack bars to choose from offering Greek and international cuisine, including English, Chinese, Indian and Italian.
The long stretch of sandy beach and warm clear waters are the main attraction of
Kalamaki, however the main resort area has grown over recent years, the nightlife and partying continuing into the early hours of the morning with clubs, karaoke, quiz nights and party nights all available for those who want it. The loggerhead turtles also nest and breed in this area, pedalo and canoes are available for you to go out and see the the turtles in their natural habitat.
Kalamaki has a wide selection of hotels, studios and apartments for you to choose from, most only a short walk from the beach and from the centre of the resort, although taxis are readily available and there are numerous places to hire transport at very reasonable rates.
