Kalymnos Review:
Situated between Kos and Leros, Kalymnos is the fourth largest island in the Dodecanese. It is surrounded by quiet islets, some inhabited only by sheep and goats,others-like Telendos and Pserimos-with just a few houses and tarvernas. The Kalymnian landscape is rocky,its majestic mountain slopes fragant with thyme,sage and oregano-essential ingredients in the delicious honey for which the island is famous.Fertile valleys offer pleaseing contrast,especially Vathi with its turquoise fiord and peaceful groves of citrus fruit.
Kalymnos is best know an home of the world's finest sponge divers. The sea has always been a focal point for island life and its clourful traditions and sense of community remain almost unchanged. Picturesque landscapes for walking,clear blue seas for snorkelling or scuba-diving, rock faces of unique quality for climbing and a warm-hearted hospitality are just some of the pleasures that await the visitor. Kalymnos is also a good base for visiting nearby islands. Patmos, Lipsi, Leros, Kos and Nisiros are all accessible for day trips.
My personal result:
If one is a nature lover & likes a correctly easy vacation without much tourism to have, Kalymnos serves optimally for it.
As for recommendations, It depends on the personal attitude of the holiday-maker. If you decide for 2 weeks Kalymnos, you must know, which one inquired the island in a few days. If you are to climb there, Kalymnos is naturally optimally, there needs you already somewhat longer, since there are many climbing areas. Me it becomes never boring on this island. One becomes acquainted with always whom, alone already because the Greek people very extrovertedly & is contact joyful. Short result, if you liked relaxation purely, you are correct in Kalymnos.
