Platys Gialos beach in Kalymnos

Platis Gialos lies not far from Kantouni, which I think is one of the better beaches on Kalymnos. The beach resembles of the beaches on Santorini with its pretty black and hot sand. In the far corner lies a peaceful taverna with great views of the beach and sea. The small island of Agios Kyriaki can be seen off the beach.

If you think that there are too many people on the beaches in Myrties and Massouri, you can go to Platys Gialos instead, it is rarely crowded here and if you stay long you get to enjoy a spectacular sunset. Above the beach lies the village of the same name. Here are several hotels and some private rooms to rent.
