Kalimera beach on Koufonissi

Between Fanos beach and Platia Punta there are two small beaches. I call the beach closest to Platia Punta for Kalimera beach, and it is my favourite beach on Koufonissi. You get here on foot in about 20-25 minutes, if you do not have energy to walk, you can go by beach boat that sometimes stops here on the way to Pori Beach.

Kalimera beach. The beach is very tiny, if you blink you will miss it.

I do not really know why I fell for this dwarf beach, probably because of the rocks behind the beach where you can relax and read a book without worrying about flying sand, and because the water feels brighter and the bottom softer, and because the water around the rocks is wonderful to explore with snorkel and mask.

The beaches on Koufonissi are very child-friendly and snorkel-friendly.

Kalimera beach is very snorkel friendly, even for a Kalimera like me. :-)

Kalimera beach on Koufonissi is located after Fanos beach.

The beach had previously no name, but I solved it many years ago when I with the customary forms and ceremonies named it Kalimera beach. :-) (Kalimera is our Swedish website about Grecce.) We like small beaches in Greece where there is no room for more than ourselves. Most often such beaches do not have a name because they are so small, and then I usually christen them in solemn ways. All are named Kalimera beach. Over the years, I have named several beaches in Greece Kalimera beach. There are no tavernas or sunbeds and parasols for hire on any of the beaches.

Sandy beaches in the Cyclades in Greece called Kalimera beach.

Here I am sitting in 2002 looking happy after I named the beach to Kalimera.

There are several smaller beaches along the coastline all the way to the sandy beach Pori beach. Among other things, there is a tiny beach just before Kalimera beach, and a slightly larger one after Kalimera beach. Both could have been named Kalimera beach, but a beach on each island with the beautiful name is enough. :-)
