ARGINONDA (Settlement) KALYMNOS
Little more than a beach, a few houses and two tavernas. Traditional, quiet, a
small haven of green between sea and mountains. Convenient base for hill walking
and rock climbing.
EMBORIOS (Settlement) KALYMNOS
Quaint, peaceful and set right at the end of the road - a real get away from it
all destination. Stay in an apartment or small house, enjoy a choice of three
quiet beaches with good snorkelling, stock up at the one mini-market or passing
mobile shops, eat in a choice of half a dozen tavernas. Good base for walking
or doing absolutely nothing and nice for small children.
KALYMNOS (Town) DODEKANISSOS
The Capital of the island is "Pothia" with its colourful,
two storey houses and its traditional island character. The town has been built
amphitheatrically, with a population of 11.500 living in its densely constructed
neighbourhoods.
Its harbour, being well sheltered fro all winds, is considered one
of the most important island harbours in Greece
offering organized Marina services.
Various Municipal buildings were constructed by the Italians between
1930-35 in a Venetian style, and adorn the seafront along with a variety of shops
and cafes. There are countless churches displaying many valuable and beautiful
icons by various well-known Kalymnian artists.
In Pothia one can also find the local Archaeological
Museum, which is housed together with bequests made by Nikolaos Vouvalis,
a local benefactor. The recently set up Maritime
Museum as well as the Folk Art Museum containing exhibits from Kalymnian everyday
life and customs are both along the sea front road.

MASSOURI (Settlement) KALYMNOS
A lively, friendly resort set along the tree-lined coast road and a popular base
for families and climbers. The wide sand and shingle beach is great for sunbathing,
swimming and water sports. Plenty of places to stroll, shop and eat until late
at night, some stylish bars, two internet cafes and a few clubs - all used by
locals as well as visitors. A wide choice here of hotels and apartments - most
with sea views.

MELITSAHAS (Settlement) KALYMNOS
Small natural cove with a sand and shingle beach facing west. A real suntrap by
day and very quiet in the evening, with just one beach taverna. The road from
Myrties is not long but it is hilly. Worth the effort, though, especially as it
passes the picturesque harbour of Melitsahas, which is full of fishing boats and
activity around them. No wonder the couple of tavernas here specialise in fish!

MYRTIES (Port) KALYMNOS
Τhe village nestles into the slopes and base of a tree-clad valley with a dramatic
backdrop of mountains. Don't miss the breathtaking seascapes from the top of the
hill on approach from the Pothia road. There are a few shops, restaurants, bars,
hotels, a shingle beach that's rarely crowded and a jetty that is the departure
point for 'taxi' boats and cruises. Catch the view from here of sunset over Telendos,
gold and crimson across a fiery sea.

NERA (Small island) KALYMNOS
A tiny island off the coast near Vlihadia.
Just a jetty, a taverna, a beach and the Church of the Cross. The latter is part
of an old monastery, but the monks are long gone. These days you'll find only
peace and quiet, the scent of mountain flowers and herbs and a clear turquoise
sea. It's very inviting.
PSERIMOS (Island) KALYMNOS
This barely inhabited island lies in the waters between Kalymnos
and Kos.
It boasts an idyllic sandy beach in a sheltered bay, lined with traditional tavernas
and perfect for swimming, paddling or splashing about. In the middle part of the
day during summer the beach can be busy with day trippers - at other times it's
blissfully tranquil. A local ferry runs daily from Pothia and some picnic cruises
stop there.

TELENDOS (Island) KALYMNOS
In 535 AD, Kalymnos experienced a huge earthquake, with tremors that lasted 14
days. As a result, the old capital of Kellaris was lost under the sea and little
Telendos became a separate rocky islet, lying off the west coast. This timeless,
traffic-free haven is now reached by regular bus boats from Myrties. Several beaches
(one for nudists), good fishing and walking, waterside tavernas, lots of local
colour - all make this an irresistible place to recharge the batteries.

VATHYS (Village) KALYMNOS
The road to Vathi winds between a lunar rockscape and the sea. Watch out for goats
on the way! Stop at the top of the approach hill for a magnificent vista of the
turquoise fiord leading into a peaceful valley of orange and tangerine groves.
At the harbour are tavernas and rooms, some Archaic remains and a surprising freshwater
pond stuffed with fish. Inland, it's like the land that time forgot. Narrow lanes
to wander or drive, atmospheric old buildings, orchards and small farms.
