1Vlychadia Beach, Kalymnos

Vlychadia Beach in Kalymnos sits beneath rugged hills and offers a quiet escape from the island’s busier areas. While it’s easier to reach than some others on this list, it still feels raw and authentic.

The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, with clear water and a peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding rocky landscape gives it a dramatic look, and the slower pace makes it ideal for relaxing.
