The amazing mountainous and steep landscape of Kalymnos provides a great opportunity to experience rock climbing. In fact, there is a climbing school on the island and an International Climbing Festival is regularly held, gaining popularity over time.
Kalymnos had a long tradition in sponge fishing in the past, but today it has only few sponge factories in Pothia. There you can get informed on the process of collecting and elaborating sponges.
This Nautical-Sea World Museum is housed in a building next to the Town Hall. It consists of four rooms and it exhibits items related to sponge fishing, photographs, ship models and folk pieces about traditional life on Kalymnos.
This small island was separated from Kalymnos due to an earthquake in 535 A.D. Telendos has a single settlement with 50 inhabitants and a nice landscape to stroll around. It is connected to Kalymnos by boat from Myrties.
The beautiful church of Agios Savvas is located on top of a hill, 2 km south of Pothia, so it offers amazing view to the town and the port. It is made of stone in the shape of cross and has round domes.
