In a straight line Avali is only 1km west of the village of Kalamitsi. However, by road it is 5km and furthest away of the three Kalamitsi beaches. The winding road is narrow and steep in places and perhaps because of this Avali beach is relatively quiet. Out of season likely to be deserted. There are no facilities on the beach but there is a Taverna near the northern end. The beach is coarse sand and pebbles.

2019 May: Repairs to the paved road following the 2015 earthquake appear to have been completed and we had no problem getting through. Even in our small 2WD car we didn’t find the drive as difficult as some reports suggest. That said, there were no other vehicles around and being narrow with relatively few passing places it is undoubtedly more difficult when the road is busier in peak season.

We only stopped briefly before continuing on to Gaidaros but the beach was empty and certainly this early in the year there would be no problem at all being naked. Good beach and much like neighbouring Gaidaros though not as long. As might be expected in such a quiet location, the taverna wasn’t open this early in the season.
