3Kalymnos: Beyond the Climbers
While Kalymnos is internationally known for rock climbing, it also holds a deeply traditional soul. Sponge diving once defined the island’s economy, and that maritime history is still present in its harbors.
To experience Kalymnos slowly, skip the adrenaline and embrace village life. Stay in a small coastal settlement. Visit a local kafeneio for coffee and conversation. Explore quiet chapels perched above the sea.
The island’s rugged terrain and open horizons encourage reflection. Here, time expands with the landscape.
