One Look, You're Hooked

It's a fact. Kalymnos is addictive!

That's why so many visitors return year after year. From the first heart-stopping glimpse of Pothia's amphitheatrical splendour as the ferry slips into the harbour, until your reluctant departure, you will be 'under the influence'. Of course, you will enjoy the hallmarks of Greece - bright sunshine, blue sky and sea - but Kalymnos has a unique extra: Kalymnian people.

Welded together over generations when the island's survival depended on hazardous sponge-diving, Kalymnos is a genuine community where traditions are respected and visitors are instinctively welcomed. Make friends with a Kalymnian and you become honorary family.
