9Kimolos – The Untamed Sister of Milos


Just a short ferry ride from its glamorous neighbor Milos, Kimolos remains one of the Cyclades’ best-kept secrets. With its chalk-white rocks (from which it gets its name) and transparent turquoise waters, the island is pure serenity.

Life revolves around Chorio, a picturesque main village of whitewashed houses and narrow alleys. The beaches — especially Prassa, Bonatsa, and Mavrospilia — are peaceful and unspoiled. Kimolos offers something many islands have lost: simplicity, authenticity, and an unfiltered glimpse into everyday Greek life.
