General: Stay in the vilages

Kalymnos has most of all nice and easily accessible beaches. In general, it is nice and tranquil. However, if you want to really relax, choose an accomodation in the villages, because Pothia in summer is like staying in a big city. I enjoyed hiking along the countryside and lying on the beaches, under the hot sun. In fact, I got sunburn once but I didn't mind. My favorite villages were Emporios...

General: For nature lovers

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...

General: Nightlife

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

The night life in Kalymnos offers some possibilities. In Pothea you can sit in any case comfortably with your friends in a bar and eat partly also well. It goes off however probably nevertheless so correctly in Masouri. There it gives me a well-known night club named Club Loca. For rock fans participates also something. Wild flags of ACDC decorate me unfortunately unknown the bar. Best Bar/Pub...

General: I love this island

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

I have already been to Kalymnos twice because I love this island.
It is not yet touristy and keeps a low level of tourism which keeps it authentic and peaceful.
The inhabitants of the island are friendly and hospitable and very happy to help you or talk with you. The island is known for its sponge divers which are now all retired from the industry; but if you can found an ex diver...
