Kalypso Beach, Rocky beach inlet near Plakias, Greece

Kalypso Beach is a rocky inlet near Plakias featuring sheer cliffs on one side and a narrow peninsula on the other, connected by a bridge spanning the water. The bay has an enclosed shape formed by towering rock walls that create a sheltered swimming area.

The inlet earned its name 'Pirate's Fjord' from its natural shape that sheltered ships from storms in ancient times. This protected location made it a valuable refuge for maritime traffic across the Mediterranean.

Local diving schools maintain a strong connection to marine education, teaching visitors about Mediterranean sea life through guided underwater expeditions.

The inlet is located several kilometers from Plakias and is best reached by car. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent on-site, and arriving early helps secure a good spot, especially during busy periods.

The water here is so clear that you can see rocks and sea creatures on the seabed without diving gear. This exceptional visibility makes it easy to explore the underwater world without any special equipment.
