Just a 8-minute walk from Massuri Beach and 0.9 miles from Melitsachas Beach, Eirinis house with amazing view in Masouri Kalymnos features accommodations in Kalymnos with a terrace.
Just a few steps from Kantouni Beach and a 5-minute walk from Linaria Beach, Kalymnos, très belle villa avec vue sur la mer features accommodations in Kalymnos, with a garden and a shared lounge.
Kalymnos town itself is hot, busy and vibrant. It lacks the polish and charm of Kos town but offers a more authentic experience that's less touristy as a result.
It's worth hiring a car to explore the island as it's more attractive than the views from the main town suggest. The beach at Arginonta is worth a stop. Empiricos in the north is very sweet and the drive over the mountain pass to Palionnisos is worthwhile. The small port of Vathys is charming but best avoided at lunchtime when the tourist day trip boats from Kos descend en masse.

We had a short trip to the island, further shortened by the delayed ferry due to bad weather. There is so much to climb on Kalymnos that 1 week is barely enough to scratch the surface, although we did sample some excellent crags, Odyssey and Sea Breeze being particular favourites. So much choice and variety. We stayed in Elies in the interior which was 10 to 15 minutes from the main areas around Myrthies and Masaurie. In hindsight it would be better to stay there, although nowhere is more than 20 minutes drive it feels. Most people use scooters which is easiest to get around. There are some good places to eat in Myrthies but most were closed at the beginning of the season. Fatolitis in Masaurie definitely had the best salads. There was a limited number of vegan options in most places but that might have been partly due to the early season.

The island is very nice, there are beautiful trees all along the way from the port through the whole city. The city is interesting, it stretches in the valley, we haven't seen that in Greece. The island has a large population that lives all year round. The houses are very nice and big, with yards full of flowers. The food in the restaurants is very high quality. Kalimnos deserves a longer stay even for those of us who are not rock climbers.

3rd time in Kalymnos but first time i actualy stayed more...
3rd time in Kalymnos but first time i actualy stayed more than a day. This time 2 nights, 3 full days. It was part of Kos /Kalymnos/Athens trip.
9 nights in Kos, 2 nights in Kalymnos and 1 night is Athens.
We took 9.00AM ferry from Mastichari to Potia in Kalymnos,capital, 1hr trip because it was big ferry. Smaller ferry is faster and take only people, no cars. Big ferry was 7.50 euro so pretty cheap.
I ordered buggy online but guy came with small and old car, appologised, he had 1 buggy only and tourist gad some accident. Well he gave us good price for car, 20.00 euro per day, we didnt had a choice! Our booking was in Vlychadia, small village away from tourist spots and that was real HIT!! Problem was to get there, drivining in Potia is crazy. I thought Ponta Delgada in Azores has tiniest streets in the world but no, some of streets we drive in Potia were so tiny we had to fold mirrors to get through and our car was not bigger than Merc Smart !!!! Very challenging, my wife is witness how much i was swearing. Vlychadia and Kazonis studios were perfect, real greek holiday with local fishermens, super friendly people. we didnt really go anywhere else, we didnt want, we just enjoyed views, snoorkeling and fishing. Shopping in market is much more expensive than Kos, Kalymnos is one of the richest Greek Islands and you can tell this looking at houses, they all nice.
Airport - there is 1 plane a day from Kalymnos ! coming from Athens and returning to Athens, Airport i sclosed and open only 2 hours before departure, views are amazing!! it is on the top of mountain and take off is crazy, like the one in Nepal, dont remember airport name.

Great people, especially Georgios!
Great people, especially Georgios! I (23) was there with my aunt (60) and we both enjoyed the place. It was calm in the beginning of October and it felt like a perfect Greek vacation place. Better than Kos for sure, especially for people who are not in love with the jammed places.

Kalymnos is an excellent rock climbing destination - as of 2019, there are almost 4000 sport routes established there. Friendly Greek people, excellent food, sunny warm fall days, easy to get around with scooters, a lifetime of rock - this place is worth coming back to.
Maria and her family were wonderful hosts who went out of their way to accommodate me and my friend. They were especially flexible with us around our check out when our climbing group went a little bit later than expected. Also, we enjoyed a few meals in their restaurant and everything was so delicious, especially the lamb kleftiko with fasolada and salad. Truly beautiful people and the perfect spot to crash during a week of climbing in Kalymnos.
The place is perfectly located for a climbing holiday on Kalymnos, especially for sectors around Grande Grotta. The appartment has a proper kitchen, cosy beds, and a great terrace. The host is super friendly, she arranged us a taxi to wait for us at the port. At the arrival we even get some fruits and cereal to welcome us. She was also always available via WhatsApp. This appartment is a good choice for a climbing vacation in the island. 🙂
Location on the beach was excellent. Our time spent having breakfast and early evening drinks watching the sunset on the main terrace was great. The bed was comfortable indeed and the nespresso machine in the room was convenient for morning coffee looking at the view. The staff was very chill, friendly and nonchalant. The hotel beach bar offers free sun beds and an outdoor shower to rinse off before going to your room.
Absolutely perfect in every way. Super modern room, great location right in front of the water to swim. Super view back over Massouri and all the hustle and bustle of the town seems so far away! We did a hike to the top of the mountain, climbed and went to the beaches, all without a car or scooter. We ate lunch and dinner at a different restaurant every time in our 5 day stay.
I can’t say enough great things about this hotel, the location, the apartment, the breakfast and the staff and management team are all brilliant!
Every detail has been thought about in the hotel, from the styling of the rooms, the handmade furniture, mini bar to breakfast!
The views are amazing, we loved our stay and can’t wait to go back!
Great location and a home-like environment, probably because the owner lives there for part of the year. The owner responded quickly to any issues we had, and there were unfortunately more than a few. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to navigate. Enjoyed the local restaurants and Kalymnos hospitality very much.
Hotel was just as we expected, and was a very short walk from the pier - making it an excellent place to stay after arriving on the late night ferry from Kos.
The view from the balcony in the morning was a lovely bonus surprise, and a great start to the holiday!
Excellent stay at a great location, next to everything.
Very comfortable bed and attentive staff.
Big room, quiet which is important since Pothia is busy town, nicely decorated also.
It was cleaned every day.
Great value for money with breakfast included as well.
The house is perfect, nicely decorated and had everything we needed during our 3 night stay in Pothia. The bed is heavenly and the jacuzzi under the stars is to die for! We were very sad to leave and if we come again to Kalymnos we will stay again here for sure.
Location was in the heart of the port walking distance to the ferry, restaurants etc. Hotel was very accommodating with an early checkin. The view of the harbour and sea from the balcony in our room was spectacular!
It was like being in a luxurious hotel combined with the cosiness of a house. And every detail was taken care of which made us feel very welcome. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi in the morning sun.
Cleio and her family are fabulous hosts, welcoming, helpful and they immediately make you feel at home. The studios have an incredible location too! Close to the climbing village and beaches.
Very good location, close to the beach and good climbing crags in a quiet village. The balcony had a great view! The staff is very friendly. The rooms are simple but have everything you need.
Nice and authentic property with a nice location in Kalymnos. We loved spending time by the pool when we  were not exploring the island. The owner Anthoni was very helpful and friendly.
The hotel has a wonderful view from the balcony. It is located near food, shopping and the sights of KALYMNOS. The owner speaks good English and responds to requests for assistance
Very new hotel with modern facilities. Staff were lovely and very accommodating (even returned a package left in our room when we transferred to another section of the island).
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and amazing views over the harbour. Well located to walk down into Pothia and up to the Folklore museum and monastery.
It’s a luxury climbers hotel! Big suites, ocean view, beautiful pool. The staff is wonderful and the Restaurant was surprisingly delicious! We loved it!
