Kaminakia Bay, Coastal bay in Astypalaia, Greece
Kaminakia Bay is a sheltered inlet on Astypalaia's coastline with transparent water and natural rock outcrops along its edges. The bay opens to a small sandy beach tucked between stone cliffs that create a secluded setting.
The bay has provided shelter to vessels since ancient times when ships traveled between Dodecanese islands. This maritime route was vital for trade and contact among the scattered islands.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in Kaminakia Bay, continuing practices passed down through generations of island inhabitants.
The bay is accessible via the coastal road from Astypalaia town, with parking nearby. The sheltered waters here are calm and suited for swimming and snorkeling year-round.
Beneath the surface lie several underwater caves that attract marine life and draw people interested in exploring below the waterline. These submerged formations are among the most intriguing features of the cove.
