Kalamaki sits on the coast, just 3 miles from Zante Town and is popular with couples and families who are looking for a quiet relaxing base with a stunning sandy beach. Due to Kalamaki being home to a colony of loggerhead turtles, noisy water sports are banned giving you the holiday maker peace and quiet on the beach.
The Kalamaki holiday season, from April to October, will see the temperature rise from 20° early on through to the early 30`s, ideal for sunbathing and swimming in the warm sea. If you can drag yourself away from the beach in Kalamaki you will find a handful of tourist and craft shops, as well as mini-markets, selling the usual holiday essentials and some good cheap holiday souvenirs.
A good selection of restaurants and cafes in Kalamaki cater for all tastes, from delicious local cuisine, such as chicken piri piri and succulent fresh fish dishes, to international meals and fast food.
Kalamaki nightlife is relatively low key with a few lively bars and a disco, although a short trip to Argassi or Laganas will give you a wide selection and keep you going into the early hours.
