Kalymnos Greece


Kalymnos Greece is a beautiful island of the Dodecanese, close to the coast of western Turkey.The economy of the Greek Island was based on sponge fishing in the past. The island opened its borders to tourism only recently, after the extinction of this activity, and became famous for the rock climbing.
