Kalymnos, a Dodecanese island, is a paradise for rock climbers with its wild, rocky terrain and vertical cliffs. Olive and fig trees dot the landscape, while gray sand beaches and small pebbled coves are scattered across the island. Pothia, the main port and capital, is where you'll find Chorio, the island's former capital, nestled nearby.

Explore the lively area of Massouri/Myrties, or discover other coastal spots like Panormos, Kantouni, and Emporios. For a quieter experience, head to the remote settlements of Emporios in the north or Vathy in the east.

Beyond the climbing scene, Kalymnos offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Admire the dramatic cliffs and encounter the hundreds of goats that roam freely. Explore charming villages with a relaxed vibe and discover local life and traditions. Museums showcase the island's interesting past, allowing you to immerse yourself in Kalymnos' rich heritage.

Relax on the beautiful beaches and discover hidden coves. Kalymnos offers a low-key nightlife scene with a mix of bars and a couple of clubs. The capital, Pothia, has the most nightlife options, with cafes facing the port. In tourist areas like Kantouni, Emporios, and Myrties, you'll find lounge bars for a more relaxed evening.
