Kalamos and Kastos Islands

Kalamos & Episkopi

There are some lovely bays on the north coast of Kalamos Island, either for a perfect lunch time swim or overnighting (no facilities though).

There is a wonderful taverna at the tiny fishing village of Episkopi on the north coast.  You need to anchor off mostly – good holding.

On the east coast you have Port Kalamos, which is a well sheltered harbour. George the taverna owner will assist you in, but be aware it can get very busy in here, especially in unsettled weather with yachts looking for shelter.

Port Leone

South of Port Kalamos is Port Leone, a deserted village (following the devastating earthquake of 1953), which is fantastic for a lunch time stop and explore.  Overnighting here is also possible, although there are no facilities.

Kastos

The harbour of Kastos offers good shelter. You can either moor inside the mole (either on the mole itself or stern to on the beach with a shoreline). If it is busy inside the mole, then it is fine to moor off on the outside of the mole or anchor off.  Good tavernas and the lovely Windmill Bar for sundowners!

Provisions can be hard to come by in Kastos although there is a small shop open in the main season.
