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.
Perfect for families with kids. The hotel was very baby-friendly and accommodating and was able to give us a room right next to the restaurant, so that we could eat dinner (which was very good, with good variety) every night while our 1 year old baby was sleeping. The apartment-style, 1-bedroom setup of the rooms is also perfect for kids, since our baby could sleep in the living room while we slept in the bedroom and could talk without waking her up. And the hotel is beautiful, with great pool, and great balcony for kids to play on.
Everything about our stay was great! The host was super communicative from when we booked our stay through when we checked out. She offered to pick us up from the ferry and drove us to the property, provided a small amount of groceries, and even brought us an traditional Greek meal. The location was amazing - 10-15-minute drive to most climbing areas on the island and just a 5-minute walk to a beach. Everything was in working order and very clean. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this property!
Very unique property right on the water & in the middle of one of the best beaches in Greek Islands, Masouri beach. The food was phenomenal & we could order our breakfast (or whatever else we wanted) to our room or down by the beach. Couple times we had dinner overlooking the water. The view was also amazing. We are world travelers and we could easily rate this in our top 3 hotel/vacation stays ever!
Centrally located on a busy street, yet rooms located at the back of the hotel were quiet. Our room was on the ground floor and had a musty/mouldy smell, perhaps from the bathroom which had no ventilation as there wasn't a window . The staff were kind and professional and were happy to try to source a rental car for our stay. Breakfast was fine and plentiful. Ideal accomodation for 2-3 nights only.
It is a paradise with excellent cleanliness and a warm welcome but gifts in the fridge .... , without sophisticated luxury in a fantastic place, on the beach literally with incredible sunsets, close to the climbing fields and with a host ready to solve every problem and every need at a very good price !!!! How well it is not done !!!!
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!
We only had a 1 night stop over at Kalymnos Suite Home, but wish we could have stayed longer. The property is 5*, beautifully finished and clean with lots of really nice touches. Excellent value for money. We will certainly stay here next time we are in Pothia.
Exceptional position for climbing, stunning views and sound of sea at night. Mattress ok, shower hot, cooking appliances basic but all necessary facilities available. Had a great time and very happy with the price :D. Many thanks to owner, we will be back.
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!
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 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.
