Kalymnos is a typical Greek island, maybe a bit different in colours. Colours in
Kalymnos are not so much blue and white, but earthern colours, like brown and yellow. I think this is because mountains dominate in Kalymnos and this has affected the architecture. Many people I know go to Kalymnos for climbing, but this was the case for us, it was a family holiday, so we prefered more quiet places, like Massouri and Panormos. A nice excursion is to the small island of Telendos where you go by boat. The good thing is that unlike other islands in high season, you will easily find accommodation and dining in really cheap prices and of course not too overcrowded.
