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.
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.
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 .
Excellent location! The house is clean and wonderfully decorated. The view from the balcony is stunning and the rooms are spacious and fresh.
A few words about Niki, we had not the chance to meet in person but she was very kind and helpful. Looking forward to our next trip in Kalymnos!
The room was clean and conveniently located to desirable stores, shops, the beach, restaurants, etc. The staff was perfectly friendly, helpful, and hard working. The hotel chef made the best salad I had on the island and the maid served breakfast like clockwork with a smile.
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!
The room was very clean and well decorated with high quality furniture!! Balcony with an amazing view ! The best spot to stay in kalymnos! Highly recommended!!!! Miss Liana is really polite and helpful!!! Thank you for everything! See you next summer!!
Simply amazing. The sunset view from our balcony was unforgettable. Friendly hosts, excellent location with a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Great base location for nearby climbing sites. Could not recommend more!
Everything close by and Artemis the host was so helpful as our ferry was cancelled and got there 9.30 pm and also the host let us stay as the ferry leaving Kalymnos was not till 2.20 pm. Very quiet and homely place.
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!
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).
The room was very clean with a great view over Pothia. The staff was helpful and accommodative. The furniture was nice and the decoration of the room was very good.
