Lets Dive Right In

This summer I actually spent a lot of time on the Ionian side of Greece. One stop was Kalamos. Although it was just a day trip and I never actually set foot on the island, swimming in these waters was incredible. The water was a beautiful turquoise and pristine. The beach we spent most of the time on was Asprogiali but there are many other beaches on the island to choose from such as Myrtia, Agriapidia, Kefali, Alexaki to name a few. Driving around the island by boat I could also tell it had a really nice town area and but it did not seem crowded it all. Within the town are places to eat and lodge. With just the basic necessities it seems to be a peaceful, not to mention gorgeous island.

There are two populated areas, Kalamos and Episkopi but much of the rest of the island has been untouched and left to its natural beauty, which is in fact very mountainous. Kalamos is accessible via boat from Mytika on the mainland and from the island Lefkada in the summer.
