Kalymnos

Welcome to Kalymnos

Kalymnos is a Greek island in the southeastern Aegean. It belongs to the Dodecanese and is located west of the peninsula Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus), between the islands of Kos and Leros. Kalymnos is an attractive island with a population of about 12,000 inhabitants, who mostly live in the capital and main port, Pothia.

The island is famous for its sponge fishing industry. Kalymnos is a mountainous island with impressive rocky crags, barren, but with plenty of herbs, such as thyme, sage, thimble and oregano, to which the excellent Kalymnos honey owes its fragrance. The island is surrounded by a large number of small islets, two of which are inhabited, Pserimos and Telendos. Because of the low level of tourism, Kalymnos is still very authentic and its inhabitants are very friendly and hospitable. Along with the beautiful landscape, this gives a particularly charming atmosphere to the island.

Top Kalymnos Attractions

Kalymnos Museum: The archaeological Museum of Kalymnos is housed in the 19th century mansion of the Vouvalis family, who were sponge fishers. The dining room has been reconstructed, with the dinner service, the living room, and the office with commercial correspondence, the service rooms, the storerooms and the photographic archives, all equipped with furniture and family household objects. Because of the lack of space, the archaeological collection will soon be moved to another building. The collection consists of figurines, pottery and coins of the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods.

The Citadel of the Knights: This caste was built by the Crusaders called Knights of Saint John; locals also called it Kastro Chrissochera (Golden Hand Castle) because of the little chapel of the Virgin which is hidden in the ruins of the castle. It is located on a steep rock, inland and north from Pothia.

The Church of Christ of Jerusalem: The remains of this fine Byzantine church can be seen between Horio and Panormos and is one of the oldest sites of the island. It was built on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to Apollo. The Byzantine emperor Arcadius ordered the construction of this church in order to show his gratitude to Christ for saving him from a storm, on his way from Jerusalem, before anchoring at Kalymnos.

 

 

Climbing: Kalymnos is a favourite choice among climbers, thanks to challenging climbs in the most picturesque locations. Rock formations are of excellent quality. There are about 200 single-pitch routes and many cliffs ranging from 10 to 200 metres. Climbing is always varied with overhangs and roofs with stalagmites. You can generally climb in Kalymnos all year round and you get pleasant sea breezes to keep cool in summer.
