Akti beach in Kalymnos

If you're driving to Rina and the Valley of Vathy (which you must do because it is so beautiful) you will see a small beach called Akti down to the right. The beach is small, but it is good, and it is not visited by many tourists. The beach is lined with tamarisk trees that gives a much needed shade. Here is a taverna that is open during high season.
