Kalymnos Greece



Welcome to Kalymnos Island, Greece, Dodecanese


Kalymnos Greece is a beautiful island of the Dodecanese, close to the coast of western Turkey. It is located between Kos and Leros. 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. This is why the inhabitants have kept their traditional way of life and customs, which is giving to the island a unique atmosphere and a lot of charm.
This section of Kalymnos Greece provides much information: pictures, villages, history, museums, architecture, map, excursions and more, such as a large range of hotels...
