Malama Beach (Kapparis)

Sheltered emerald cove in Kapparis flanked by acacia-fringed cliffs, perfect for relaxed swimming.

Malama Beach is a tranquil pocket of golden sand tucked between rocky headlands in the Kapparis area. The lush coastal greenery and calm, crystal-clear water give it an intimate feel compared to the larger resort beaches.

Natural cliff arms protect the bay from offshore swells, creating gentle swimming conditions favored by locals.

Tips before you go

  • Visit the cliff-top bar Kaliφi for a refreshing coffee or cocktail with sweeping views.
  • Excellent bay for stand-up paddleboarding.
  • Arrive early on summer weekends as parking nearby is limited.

How to get there
