Kalymnos | Ton Ticho Beach

As on most Greek islands, if you want a remote beach for that get-away-from-it-all feeling, the farther you need to go from the main port. This is especially true of Kalymnos, whose north and west coasts have all what you're looking for.
One nicely remote beach is that of Ton Ticho, which lies inside of one of the many small coves on the northwest peninsula. The beach is pebbly but not too rough, and the water is very clean, coming straight from the northern Aegean Sea.
Ticho in Greek means wall, and the beach is named after a wall of rock that separates it from the slopes on either side. There aren't any tourist facilities, so it's wise to bring your own sunbed, umbrella, food and drinking water.
Ton Ticho beach is 23 kilometres northwest of the main port of Pothia, off the main road to Emborio. You get to the beach by a paved path leading off the main road.
