Kalymnos Holidays

Kalymnos Holidays – Scenic island with relaxed small-scale resorts
Kalymnos holidays offer a relaxing, picturesque Greek Island with relatively low-key tourism. Holidays on Kalymnos are based on a scenic, mountainous, comparatively undeveloped island off the west coast of Turkey, 60 miles northwest of Rhodes. Kalymnos holidays offer small beach resorts like Myrties, Telendos and Emborio, where enjoyably modest collections of cafes and tavernas cluster around ferry jetties, fishing harbours and Kalymnos beaches. Kalymnos holidays offer small, relaxed, straightforward resorts and typically Greek evenings based around small bars and tavernas. Kalymnos holidays are a world away from the lively, young scene that predominates on neighbouring Kos.


Kalymnos Beach Holidays – Beautifully clear water and unpretentious tavernas
Most holidays are based in small-scale resorts like Myrties and Massourri on the west coast or villages like Vathi, Emborio and Armeos. Most of the best Kalymnos beaches have a pleasantly small-scale resort attached. Kalymnos beaches are good for unpretentious seafront restaurants, cafes and bars. West coast Kalymnos beaches also enjoy superbly romantic sunsets. Kalymnos holidays attract snorkelling enthusiasts, thanks to the wonderfully clear water on Kalymnos beaches. Kalymnos holidays also offer diving, windsurfing, sailing and fishing. Kalymnos holidays should include the water taxi trip to the tiny island of Telendos, where the Byzantine monastery looks down on quiet, pebbly beaches and a cluster of charming tavernas.

Kalymnos Holidays – Popular with walkers and climbers
Kalymnos holidays in spring and autumn offer ideal conditions for exploring the surprisingly scenic interior. Kalymnos holidays are popular with walkers and keen rock climbers all year round. Rock climbing holidays on Kalymnos focus on rocky hills and dramatic cliff locations, while walkers on holiday in Kalymnos enjoy the surprising splendidly lush, green valleys of the interior. The renowned donkey track walk from Pothia to Vathi should feature in any Kalymnos holiday. Worthwhile Kalymnos holiday excursions include the mountain fortress at Hora, the picturesque capital of Pothia, and the ferry trip from Myrties beach to the island of Leros.
