5Pothia, Kalymnos

Pothia, the capital village of Kalymnos, is known for its colorful neoclassical houses built along a narrow valley by the sea. The pastel tones of the buildings, combined with the surrounding hills, create a striking and memorable setting. 

Kalymnos has a long history of sponge diving, and Pothia still reflects this heritage. Walking along the harbor, you can sense the island’s strong character and maritime traditions.
