A mountain posing as an island, Kalamos is located right in the heart of the inner Ionian marine protected area, bathed with lucid pine trees. Sailing with a chartered monohull or catamaran from IonionSails around the island offers you an opportunity to admire its small deserted sandy and pebble beaches while floating on its turquoise and crystal clear waters. See our suggested 7 or 14 day sailing itineraries to see how easy it is to visit Kalamos while chartering from Lefkas!

Kalamos Port

One of the two settlements located on the island, this fishing village is one of the destinations that you must visit after you charter your yacht from Lefkada or Corfu, since you will definitely fall in love with it. The sense of tranquility and the peace at heart the visitor feels, are only some of the most deluging emotions one can experience.

You have dropped your anchor in green blue waters, you are totally surrounded by a pine forest and you can see only leftovers from an abandoned old village, magic!
