You are actually stretching the gastrocnemius muscle from which the Achilles tendon comes from. The best stretch is to put you toes angled up towards a wall with your heel on the ground and to lean into the wall. You should feel a stretch up into your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) as well as in your Achilles.
