hi we went there a couple of years ago and fell in love with kalymnos.
the charm of the people and the pace of the island just captivated us.
we stayed in elies in panormos and found several excelent tavernas. our favorite was a taverna specialising in fish on linaria beach the special platter is amazing and comes with a bottle of ouzo, its the only one ther so you cant miss it. we also used the oliv which was great, he will put on a meze for you if you ask( its not on the menu) for watering holes you cannot beat the rock and blues bar. the owner kostas is one bad dude with an incredible music collection picked up while running clubs in the states some years ago. watch out for the free shots tho. ask his wife about tavernas in pothia she is a mine of information and directed us to her favorite,run by a friend obviously, it was so good but only seemed to have locals in it, a very good sign anywhere. she also runs a website for kalymnos.
we have vowed to return and we will soon
