Beaches in Makrigialos

Kalamokanias beachKalamokanias is located 57km southeast of Agios Nikolaos and 22km east of Ierapetra, on the west side of Makri Gialos settlement. It is located on the west side of the hill that rises behind the harbor area. It takes its name after the migratory bird stilt (Himantopus himantopus) that has red legs and body reminding of a miniature stork and stops in the local streams.

The beach, although next to Makrigialos, is known mainly to locals because it is not visible from the main road. It is very quiet and has coarse black sand that does not stick to the body. It is not organized, but there are tamarisk trees that provide shade and a few taverns around. Also, there are several hotels and rooms, while the bars of Makrigialos are not far. Here you will meet mostly locals enjoying the sea, away from the tourist beach of Makrigialos.

To get here from Ierapetra, before entering Makrigialos (100m), turn right and head towards the sea. Moreover, there is a coastal road connecting the beach with the local harbor.
