Prassa Beach

It is the most famous beach on the island. Admittedly one of the best in the Cyclades and, according to a survey conducted by the American travel agency Florida Panhandle, on October 23, the one with the cleanest waters in the world according to more than 2.4 million visitor reviews.

All the above contribute positively to its reputation, which has grown and now travels worldwide. The fact is that anyone who visits Kimolos either for a short vacation or for a one-day excursion from neighboring Milos has a high priority in taking a dip in the turquoise waters of Prassa. Understandably, the combination created by the thick white sand, the color of the sea, and the pristine landscape is truly unbeatable.

Although the beach is located north of the island, it is oriented to be protected from the strong north winds. Access by car is easy, while parking is relatively easy. If you arrive at the beach early in the morning, you will find space to settle under the unsurpassed shade offered by the tamarisk trees that are prolonged along it. At the same time, sunbeds and umbrellas are available for those who prefer a little more comfort, along with a small beach bar serving refreshing drinks and light snacks.

Rema Beach

Rema remains a hidden gem, unlike the Cyclades’ more frequently visited beaches. It is one of the most beautiful spots on Kimolos and undoubtedly one of its most photographed corners. The beach is small and rocky, making it difficult to access by car. But that’s hardly a drawback. From Psathaki, you can reach it after a short and relatively easy 15–20-minute walk. Alternatively, you can drive part of the way, leave your car near the main road, and walk the last 150–200 meters down to the beach.

Amenities are minimal—no facilities, beach bars, sunbeds, or umbrellas exist. Perhaps this is why most visitors stop only briefly for a photo before continuing their journey to Prassa, the island’s star beach.
And yet, Rema offers a profoundly Greek setting: turquoise waters, tiny whitewashed houses, colorful doors carved into the rocks, makeshift bridges, and sea-sculpted rock formations. At the tip of the cove stands a rock resembling an elephant—an incredible natural sculpture that adds a unique touch to the beach. The only thing that disturbs the tranquility here is the cheerful laughter of children diving repeatedly from the low or higher rocks.

Those who wisely choose to spend more time at this beach will swim in a sheltered cove with a soft sandy seabed, relax in the shade of the rocks beside the Elephant, wander over to the neighboring cove where the small port of Goupas is located, explore the surrounding rock formations, and savor the peaceful atmosphere—even in the height of August.
Enjoy a truly relaxing vacation!

Rema Beach encapsulates the essence of Kimolos: raw, unpretentious beauty and a deep connection to nature. Its calm atmosphere and stunning landscapes offer a chance to step back from the chaos of everyday life and embrace the slower rhythms of the island. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventurer, or someone simply looking for a peaceful hideaway, Rema Beach promises an experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by the untouched splendor of this Cycladic treasure.

Cine Kalisperitis

The open-air cinema is an experience inseparably linked to the Greek summer. However, in this little corner of the Cyclades, the Kimolistes, starting from Fotis’ love for cinema, have given this concept a whole new dimension—creating something truly unique.

Cine Kalisperitis is a mobile outdoor cinema that the organizers set up in the castle, in squares, and on the beaches of Kimolos. Each time in a different location, each time with a different backdrop, and always free of charge. This initiative began a few years ago and is the culmination of the passion, taste, and dedication of a few—very few—who had the vision to create something remarkable, something that gets better with each passing year.

The first time I watched a film was on Alyki Beach. The screen was set up right in front of the sea, and behind it, a full moon emerged on the horizon. Lanterns and torches lit up the surroundings. I don’t remember the movie—only the scenery. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing screenings at the Castle, Prassa, Rema, Polyaigos, Ellinika, and at Geronikolas’ Heights. Each time, it felt like a near-mystical experience.

Now, Cine Kalisperitis has expanded to other Cycladic islands, acting as Kimolos’ finest ambassador.

So, if you ever hear Cine Kalisperitis whispering your name from within the medieval castle or a secluded beach, don’t resist. Follow the call, and among the scents of honeysuckle, marjoram, and basil, beneath a sky studded with stars, surrounded by lanterns and torches, you will experience something that only a lucky few have—and a memory that will stay with you forever.

Polyaigos Island

Many years before I came to Kimolos, I happened to attend a discussion with the crew members of a yacht about the areas they had visited. Due to their professional status, they were fortunate to visit every corner of Greece, even places inaccessible to common people. They all agreed that the most beautiful place they had seen was an uninhabited island next to Kimolos—the island of Polyaigos.

When we finally visited Kimolos for the first time, I remembered this conversation and did not miss the opportunity. Having nothing to do with the art of the sea, we borrowed a wooden boat and trusted the most experienced member of the group who, according to his statement, had done it before. This wooden boat led us to Polyaigos and the Blue Bay. Love at first sight! Eternal love that lasts over time as every visit to the island reveals something different.

Included in the Natura 2000 network as a protected area for the conservation of biodiversity, the island is a refuge for rare flora and fauna, including the Mediterranean monk seal, one of the most endangered marine species in the world. I could try to describe the unique coastline of the island, the impressive rock formations, and secluded beaches, the eerie white rocks that emerge in the middle of the sea, the imposing caves, the blue of the sea, the wild goats that climb comfortably the steep slopes to cool off in the sea, but whatever I write will be very poor compared to reality.

So I will simply urge you to visit it. You can rent a boat or book a place on one boat that organizes day trips having also the chance to enjoy the stories of Captain Vangelis and Avgoustis. The excursion boats start from Psathi and shape their program according to the weather to stop at two or three different places and beaches.

To summarize, if you choose to visit Polyaigos, remember that it will give you an experience beyond the typical tourist product, offering you a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of the Cyclades.

Mavrospilia Beach

Tucked away on the western coast of Kimolos, Mavrospilia Beach is a breathtaking haven of golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and mesmerizing sunsets. Known for its serene atmosphere and untouched beauty, this secluded beach is perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful escape away from the crowds.

Mavrospilia is one of Kimolos’ most picturesque beaches, offering soft sandy shores framed by rugged landscapes and volcanic rock formations. The shallow, transparent waters invite visitors to take a refreshing swim, while the surrounding scenery creates a sense of complete tranquility. With little to no tourist infrastructure, the beach maintains its raw, unspoiled charm—ideal for those who appreciate nature in its purest form.

Mavrospilia is particularly famous for its stunning sunset views. As the sun dips into the horizon, the sky transforms into a vibrant palette of orange, pink, and purple, reflecting beautifully on the calm Aegean waters. It’s the perfect place to end your day with a romantic moment or a peaceful retreat in nature.

The beach is accessible by a dirt road, so a 4×4 vehicle or a short hike may be required to reach it. However, the effort is well worth it, as Mavrospilia rewards visitors with one of the most secluded and picturesque settings on the island.

For those looking to escape the ordinary and experience the untouched beauty of Kimolos, Mavrospilia Beach is a must-visit destination. Whether you’re swimming in its crystal waters, sunbathing on its soft sands, or witnessing one of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Cyclades, this beach promises a truly unforgettable experience.
