The bay of Palionisos is located near Vathis, on the east coast of Kalymnos. You can start from Pothia and head towards Palionisos. At a certain point, the asphalt stops and a gravel road begins including sharp turns and numerous pits in the wild beauty of mountains. After a while, the road is cut and you will have to abandon your vehicle. This is where a route begins that passes in parallel with the houses’ yards and at a certain point it even passes through them. After ten minutes, it ends to the beach. The one side of the beach is calm and there are a few docking fishing boats, while the other has pebbles, as well as shadow due to the trees that stand very close to the water.
Very quiet and secluded, it’s perfect for some solitary swimming. It’s a favorite of the locals and once you dive into its blue-green waters it will no doubt become your favorite as well.
