The sunrise view here is outstanding! Just unbelievable. The room was large and well equipped. Eirini at reception was just so accommodating and very friendly, always eager to assist.
I don't think you'd get a better view on all of Kalymnos!!

The breakfast was very good. All very fresh. Tucked away in a little side street but within walking distance to restaurants and the port.

This is the second time I've stayed at Elena Village. My friend and I use it as our homebase to climb, but we also work from abroad here. It's the perfect place to feel like you are on a real holiday in Kalymnos – not just a climbing trip.

Amazing authentic, unpretentious island. So much good food and fresh fish available. Captured my heart. A car is best because there are some beautiful villages which are a must to visit whilst exploring this fabulous Greek island as Greek as it gets. Don’t forget to visit Telendos this is a must at least for a great lunch and the beach.

Kalymnos town itself is hot, busy and vibrant.
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.
Wonderful location right by the sea with a superb view from our balcony. The accommodation was very comfortable with very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts - Aphrodite and Manolis. Breakfast provisions were very good and we enjoyed our breakfast overlooking the sea each day. There was a choice of excellent tavernas close at hand. The ferry service to Kalymnos was regular and reliable; as was the local bus to Pothia.
Our host was tremendous. She gave us numerous tips for travel and sight-seeing on the island, she also brought us some pastries unique to Kalymnos. The residence was superb. Very clean, comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The location was central to the main village and the supermarket was only a 3 minute walk away. We thoroughly recommend this listing for anyone traveling to Kalymnos.
very large house + massive garden on 3 floors. Good internet (good enough for remote work), kitchen is perfect, has bbq :) very good location if u want to climb in the northern sectors of the island. Decent restaurants in Emporios. Walking access to one of the best wild beaches ive seen in Kalymnos. The house keeps cool even on very warm days. Mosquito nets everywhere!!
The host was absolutely amazing, extremely friendly and even surprised us with complementary soup on a rainy day. Beds are comfy, rooms have airco (both heating and cooling) you can control yourself. The central kitchen has all essential facilities and hot water is always available. Walking distance away from many major climbing crags, such as the iconic Grande Grotta.
I will highly recommend the lions house to anybody , stayed 4 weeks location for me was fantastic ,clean ,accommodating will recommend to my friends and family anytime, the manager of the rental property will get in contact with me to make sure if I needed any assistance with my stay. definitely when I return to kalymnos I will return to the lions house .
We had an incredible time. We preferred the quiet location and frequently had the beach to ourselves. We enjoyed the many great restaurants in our area and didn't mind the short scooter ride to the popular climbing areas to the North. We will surely stay here again on our next trip to Kalymnos!
The sunrise view here is outstanding! Just unbelievable. The room was large and well equipped. Eirini at reception was just so accommodating and very friendly, always eager to assist.
I don't think you'd get a better view on all of Kalymnos!!
Beautiful views, good location, just a few minutes car ride from Massouri beach, very nice pool, great breakfast in the morning. It’s a very charming property as it is like a little village going up the hill
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.
The bed was very comfortable and the furnishings in the room and rest of the hotel were good. Air-con was very efficient. The location was very central. It was quiet in the room.
I stayed with my husband and three children for five nights. It was a fantastic stay and I would recommend to other families. The hotel is clean and staff is fantastic.
The house is simple,clean and comfortable. Location is great for climbing. The host is excellent, accommodated with all of our requests . Strongly recommend.
