Traditional and unspoilt, Kalamitsi is one of the oldest villages in Lefkas. More info here Within a few kilometres of the village, on the west coast, are three beaches, two naturist friendly and one perhaps not. In previous Barefoot reports, and some tourist guides, they are sometimes individually or collectively known as Kalamitsi Beach but in fact it seems that none of these beaches are actually named as such. Starting from the northernmost beach, in anticlockwise order they are Avali, Kavalikefta and Megali Petra.

Unsure if there is an actual beach called Kalamitsi; perhaps this is just the name of the village and there are a few beaches you can reach from it, namely Avali, Kavalikefta & Megali Petra and based on the reports above, possibly the southern part of Kathisma.

As you leave Kalamitsi village and drive downhill on a narrow winding road, you reach a point where there are various signs (for beaches, beach bars, etc):

  • If you head right, you reach Avali beach and, continuing north, the southern part of Kathisma (based on reports under Kathisma).
  • If you head left, you reach a car park eventually, where you can pay and park your car. There is also a right bend of the downhill road, just before you reach the car park at the very end, where you can park (on street) and take the path to the beach (path visible on Google maps). If you reach the car park, you can also find a restaurant there and Kavalikefta beach. If you leave the restaurant behind you and walk further south past rocks, you reach Megali Petra beach.
