Kalamitsi is a rather isolated small sandy beach with not much shadow and trees, I am afraid you will be bored. I would prefer Sarti village or Platanitsi camping or Kavourotrypes pine-forest, you will have much more to do there. The sea and the sandy beach are equally good in all the above places, but the surrounding is different.

Thank you Stefanos for the reply. I saw some pictures on the net and I expected the landscape to be little bit "desert". But the ideea is that I was looking for an isolated place, so it is right for me. I'm traveling by my personal car so there is no problem to visit the sourrondings.
Tell me if there is a marketplace or supermarket in Kalamitsi and also if it is a nudist beach there. Some refferences on the net said that nudism is possible there or near this village.

I was there some years ago, so maybe my descriptions are not so accurate. Kalamitsi is not a village but just a beach, populated only in summer. On that time there were a few canteens-taverns, some cottages and many caravans and tents. Don't expect a real supermarket, but some mini-market is possible. For more supplies you have to go to Sykia or to Sarti.
If nudism is allowed in Kalamitsi, this will be far from the center of this small settlement.
In the past, at the south part of Kavourotrypes and in the area between Kavourotrypes and Platanitsi Camping there were nudists. Platanitsi camping had extended illegally their territory, controlling also the dirt-road leading to this area, but this was only for money and not for checking nudists. So you could approach this area either by entering the camping and getting out again to the north on the beach, or through Kavourotrypes coastal forest (but this way is more complicated, you have to search in the forest). I remember that 1 or 2 tents were set on the dirt forest road, practically closing the access of cars from Kavourotrypes to the nudists', but you could pass on foot. I think this was done intentionally by the Platanitsi camping to stop car access. There was repeatedly some dispute and complaints to the municipality about nudism but the dominant aspect of the locals was that the place is rather isolated and so there is not a real abuse of ethics. Furthermore, this nudist free camp is rather helping the local tourist economy (and the Camping). Some nudists had also created a nudist association, "Dionysos" and were trying to reserve legally a certain space in Kavourotrypes coastal pine-forest for nudists but I do not know the result.
I think that in Kalamitsi can be the same point of view, that is "illegal but silently accepted" by the municipality.
