Use a local boat to see Kalamos and coves without forcing a road itinerary
Seeing Anafi from the water puts the scale of Kalamos and the spacing of the south-coast beaches into one clear journey. A local excursion may stop at coves that require a long walk or show the cliff without turning the day into an exposed summit attempt. Treat the published route as an intention, not a contract: the skipper must adapt to wind, swell, passenger ability and safe landing conditions.
Ask at the port or through accommodation for a licensed operator, vessel capacity, shade, toilet, lifejackets and the exact return point. Confirm whether the trip lands on beaches or only pauses offshore, and carry water, food and sun protection accordingly. Travellers with limited mobility should describe their needs before paying because ladders and wet landings are common. Never pressure a skipper to enter a cave, approach rock or run when conditions have changed.
