Red Rock Bay

✨ Hidden gem

You'll find Red Rock bay on Kalymnos, the fourth largest island in the Dodecanese, where dramatic reddish cliffs plunge into crystal-clear Aegean waters. The bay gets its name from the striking geological formations that create a stunning contrast against the deep blue sea, typical of this volcanic island chain between Kos and Leros. The secluded setting offers pristine swimming conditions while keeping you close to Kalymnos' fascinating Bronze Age caves and early Christian archaeological sites scattered throughout the island.
