Alyki – Bonatsa – Kalamitsi

Three successive sandy beaches situated at the south, with the basic amenities, tamarisk trees and shallow waters. They are the largest on Kimolos, wind protected and easily accessible. Alyki (eng “salt pan”) features a wetland that hosts many bird species in springtime, while Bonatsa is the trio’s most popular.

Prasa (also known as Agios Georgios or White Beach)

The most famous and gorgeous beach on Kimolos has white coarse sand and turquoise waters, plus sun beds, umbrellas and a beach bar. Snorkeling fans will adore the sea caves under the chapel of Agios Georgios. The beach can get crowded, while it’s also frequented by various sea vessels (and the monk seal in autumn). The neighboring thermal springs are also another sight worth visiting.

Mandraki

The only beach on the island is located at the port. It is small and features sand and pebbles.

Angali

Isolated and surrounded by a rocky landscape, this sandy beach is accessible only by boat. Make sure you carry your own supplies.

Avlaki

You can reach it either by boat (highly recommended) or via a descending path from the Monastery of Agios Georgios Hadion. It is a small and tranquil cove, protected by the wind.

Chelatros

An impressive pebbly beach, easily accessible and wind-protected, situated at the south part of the island. In ancient times, it used to be a natural port favored by Minoan seamen.

Ammoua

A small sandy and pebbly beach, perfect for swimming and relaxation. From the nearby chapel of Agios Konstantinos, sitting on a small hilltop, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. Ammoua is actually one of the four successive beaches found at the area of Antiperatos, near the capital of Fry.
