Situated between
Kos and Leros rises Kalymnos, the fourth largest island in the Dodecanese.
Surrounded by other smaller islets,of which - only Pserimos & Telendos are
inhabited- Kalymnos adorns the Nothern part of Dodecanese islands with it’s
mountains landscape.
One can find a great variety of herbs such as thyme, sage,
thrimbe and oregano, while exploring the Kalymnian slopes. The above also constitute
the best ingredients for the production of the famous Kalymnian
honey. The terrain of the island is mountainous, except for two fertile valleys.
It is along these
valleys that its biggest villages have sprouted Kalymnos or Pothia and Vathi.
Castles, remnants of fortresses, archaeological finds, and old churches bear
witness to the continuous importance of Kalimnos in the history of the Aegean.
Its natural attractions - caves,
lovely beaches, unspoilt scenery - make it a mini earthly paradise.

Their departure is a moving and important event, which is therefore
accompanied by glamorous religious ceremonies. After approximately
five months' hard work sponge-fishers return to the island.
The whole island puts on festive dress and prepares to celebrate the return of
the sea- beaten sailors.
Kalymnos or Pothia, the island's capital, amphitheatrically built, descends to
the port like a multicolored torrent of bright houses, churches, and belfries.
In the south-western part of the island we shall visit the cave of Kefala or
Trypa, with its stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the caves of the Seven
Virgins or Cavern of the Nymphs at the foot of mount Flaska, the cave of Scalia
to the SW, also Therma – radioactive springs (about 1 km south to the city)
recommended for many illnesses.
Therma is equipped with modern bathing facilities, specialized personnel and
rooms for visitors. Chorio, the old capital of the island, is built at the foot
of the medieval castle. Along the island's western coast there are places full
of beauty - Linaria and the villages Myrties, Masouri among others.
With its tiny bays and surrounding islands, Kalymnos is ideal for amateur fishermen.
And its transparent sea favors underwater fishing.
From Kalymnos, also, we can easily visit the nearby tiny islands of Telendos
and Pserimos, which offer idyllic sites for swimming and fishing. |
