Kaminakia Beach Astypalea

Kaminakia Beach is a remote and stunning coastal area located on the southwestern side of Astypalea nestled within a rugged landscape of high arid hills and deep ravines. The area is characterized by its wide sandy shore and the presence of a few traditional tavernas that offer local delicacies like yellow bread and goat cheese in a peaceful setting. Because it is sheltered from the strong summer winds the bay feels like a natural sanctuary where a row of tamarisk trees provides soft organic shade against the stark rocky backdrop. It is a well known destination for those seeking a balance of primitive beauty and authentic island hospitality reached primarily by a long winding dirt road or by boat.
