KALAMOS PORT, town and AGRAPIDIA beache in KALAMOS ISLAND (LEFKADA)

Kalamos is a picturesque little port and it is also the islands' capital. It is a quite safe port and anchorage. The village is charming, pure and not at all touristic. There are some beaches with nice waters near by. Agrapidia is a nice beach, with clear waters, located SW of the town (see photos). Close to the port's entrance the depth is about 2,5 meters. If you move inside the harbour there are rocks so you should be careful! Plans have been made for the enlargement of the port. On the west side of the port, there has been built a new quay, and now there are more possibilities to moor. Of course there is no harbour master but usually the taverna owners help you moor. The village setting is pretty - from the rear of the houses one had the view of the mountain rising above the village, from the front of the houses one had the view of the sea and mainland coast.
Visitors may wander through its little streets or have a cup of coffee at the coffeeshop. The house gardens have lemon trees, fig tres and flowers.Simple provisions are available: Bakery, butcher and a little supermarket.

Kalamos captivates visitors with its unusual, wild landscape. It has a surface area of around 20 square km and a highest mountain peak of 200 metres.There are around 580 permanent residents, increasing in the summer.The centre (town) of the island is the port of Kalamos, which is on the eastern side. This is where many people cruising the Ionian moor their boats in order to visit the island, enjoy some seafood at a seaside taverna or seek refuge from bad weather. Work being carried out for the widening the port will increase the number of boats that can be moored here and ease sea transport, which is the island's only means of communicat
