6/10 Okay
"Ignored and Disappointed: Poor Communication by Hotel Management When we extended our stay, the hotel staff failed to inform us about a special 50% May discount. Although the manager later compensated us nicely, our experience with the hotel’s loyalty program has been extremely disappointing. Since our stay, we've made multiple attempts to register for the hotel’s loyalty membership. Despite discussing this directly with reception upon checkout (we were promised a follow-up that never came) and sending three subsequent emails, we've received no response whatsoever. It feels as though the hotel is deliberately avoiding our registration to prevent us from receiving the 10% discount on our next visit, especially concerning given their initial oversight regarding the 50% discount. We remain puzzled by this complete lack of communication from hotel management."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Kalamaki cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Kalamaki vary, but you can find a great deal from £35 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Kalamaki is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kalamaki for beaches is directly along the main beachfront road, which runs parallel to Kalamaki Beach.

This central strip of Kalamaki is where you'll find most of the hotels and apartments, all offering direct or very easy access to the sandy shores. The main road is lined with a variety of tavernas, cafes, and shops, meaning everything you need is just a short stroll away. The beach itself is known for its soft sand and clear, shallow waters, making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

Families will particularly enjoy staying here due to the convenience of having the beach right on their doorstep. Children can easily go between the hotel and the sea, and many beachfront accommodations offer family-friendly facilities. The shallow waters are also great for younger swimmers.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also find this area perfect. You can enjoy long walks along the shore, dine at beachfront restaurants with sea views, and easily access sun loungers and parasols for a comfortable day by the water.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Kalamaki?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Kalamaki is during July and August. These months bring the warmest weather, with average temperatures consistently in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius, great for enjoying Kalamaki's sandy beaches and clear waters. The Mediterranean sun is at its most potent, making it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. During this period, you'll find beachside tavernas bustling and all water activities readily available. Families often particularly enjoy this time, as the warm sea temperatures and vibrant setting are excellent for children's holidays.

As another option, June presents a fantastic alternative. The weather is still wonderfully warm, typically in the mid-20s to high 20s Celsius, making it superb for beach days and exploring the local area without the intense heat of mid-summer. You may find better value on premium beachfront accommodations and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants and for excursions.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kalamaki with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Kalamaki beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Kalamaki?
The best beach activities in Kalamaki involve relaxing on the sand, swimming in the clear waters, and enjoying the local marine life.

Kalamaki Beach is a long, sandy stretch superb for a laid-back day. The water is generally calm and shallow, making it ideal for a leisurely swim. You'll find plenty of sunbeds and parasols available for hire, so you can comfortably spend the day by the sea. This beach is particularly good for couples looking for a peaceful day out.

For those interested in the local wildlife, Kalamaki's beaches are known as nesting grounds for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). While you should always keep a respectful distance, you might spot signs of their nesting sites, particularly early in the morning. Some local boat trips also offer opportunities to see these turtles in their natural habitat further offshore, which can be a wonderful experience for families with older children or couples interested in nature.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kalamaki as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kalamaki for you.
