Diamandi beach

Diamandi is a quiet sandy beach on the tip of the Kalamaki peninsula, reached on foot, by car plus a walk, or by boat. It faces north, so it takes the meltemi swell and the currents can be dangerous in a strong blow. There are no sunbeds. One beach bar serves it.

Frequently asked questions

Is there anywhere to eat at Diamandi beach?

Yes — one venue: Diamanti Beach Bar. The only operation on the tip of the Kalamaki peninsula, reached on foot, by car plus a walk, or by boat. Dish-of-the-day cooking and one of the most atmospheric spots on the island.

Do you need cash at Diamandi beach?

Cards are generally accepted here, but remoter Skiathos beaches are often cash only and terminals fail where there is no signal. Carrying euros is sensible anywhere on the island.

How do you get to Diamandi beach?

Diamandi is one of the harder beaches to reach — expect a rough road, a walk, or boat access. Check the venue pages for the route and whether they are open before travelling.
