The sunrise view here is outstanding! Just unbelievable. The room was large and well equipped. Eirini at reception was just so accommodating and very friendly, always eager to assist.
I don't think you'd get a better view on all of Kalymnos!!

The breakfast was very good. All very fresh. Tucked away in a little side street but within walking distance to restaurants and the port.

This is the second time I've stayed at Elena Village. My friend and I use it as our homebase to climb, but we also work from abroad here. It's the perfect place to feel like you are on a real holiday in Kalymnos – not just a climbing trip.

Amazing authentic, unpretentious island. So much good food and fresh fish available. Captured my heart. A car is best because there are some beautiful villages which are a must to visit whilst exploring this fabulous Greek island as Greek as it gets. Don’t forget to visit Telendos this is a must at least for a great lunch and the beach.

Kalymnos town itself is hot, busy and vibrant.
Kalymnos town itself is hot, busy and vibrant. It lacks the polish and charm of Kos town but offers a more authentic experience that's less touristy as a result.
It's worth hiring a car to explore the island as it's more attractive than the views from the main town suggest. The beach at Arginonta is worth a stop. Empiricos in the north is very sweet and the drive over the mountain pass to Palionnisos is worthwhile. The small port of Vathys is charming but best avoided at lunchtime when the tourist day trip boats from Kos descend en masse.

We had a short trip to the island, further shortened by the delayed ferry due to bad weather. There is so much to climb on Kalymnos that 1 week is barely enough to scratch the surface, although we did sample some excellent crags, Odyssey and Sea Breeze being particular favourites. So much choice and variety. We stayed in Elies in the interior which was 10 to 15 minutes from the main areas around Myrthies and Masaurie. In hindsight it would be better to stay there, although nowhere is more than 20 minutes drive it feels. Most people use scooters which is easiest to get around. There are some good places to eat in Myrthies but most were closed at the beginning of the season. Fatolitis in Masaurie definitely had the best salads. There was a limited number of vegan options in most places but that might have been partly due to the early season.

The island is very nice, there are beautiful trees all along the way from the port through the whole city. The city is interesting, it stretches in the valley, we haven't seen that in Greece. The island has a large population that lives all year round. The houses are very nice and big, with yards full of flowers. The food in the restaurants is very high quality. Kalimnos deserves a longer stay even for those of us who are not rock climbers.

3rd time in Kalymnos but first time i actualy stayed more...
3rd time in Kalymnos but first time i actualy stayed more than a day. This time 2 nights, 3 full days. It was part of Kos /Kalymnos/Athens trip.
9 nights in Kos, 2 nights in Kalymnos and 1 night is Athens.
We took 9.00AM ferry from Mastichari to Potia in Kalymnos,capital, 1hr trip because it was big ferry. Smaller ferry is faster and take only people, no cars. Big ferry was 7.50 euro so pretty cheap.
I ordered buggy online but guy came with small and old car, appologised, he had 1 buggy only and tourist gad some accident. Well he gave us good price for car, 20.00 euro per day, we didnt had a choice! Our booking was in Vlychadia, small village away from tourist spots and that was real HIT!! Problem was to get there, drivining in Potia is crazy. I thought Ponta Delgada in Azores has tiniest streets in the world but no, some of streets we drive in Potia were so tiny we had to fold mirrors to get through and our car was not bigger than Merc Smart !!!! Very challenging, my wife is witness how much i was swearing. Vlychadia and Kazonis studios were perfect, real greek holiday with local fishermens, super friendly people. we didnt really go anywhere else, we didnt want, we just enjoyed views, snoorkeling and fishing. Shopping in market is much more expensive than Kos, Kalymnos is one of the richest Greek Islands and you can tell this looking at houses, they all nice.
Airport - there is 1 plane a day from Kalymnos ! coming from Athens and returning to Athens, Airport i sclosed and open only 2 hours before departure, views are amazing!! it is on the top of mountain and take off is crazy, like the one in Nepal, dont remember airport name.

Great people, especially Georgios!
Great people, especially Georgios! I (23) was there with my aunt (60) and we both enjoyed the place. It was calm in the beginning of October and it felt like a perfect Greek vacation place. Better than Kos for sure, especially for people who are not in love with the jammed places.
This was my third visit to Kalymnos for rock climbing and each time I've stayed with here. Skevos is a marvelous host, picks you up at the ferry, unit stocked with enough food to avoid immediate trip to store. Location is perfect for climbers, mid-way up the hill between upper and lower one way roads through Myrties, short walk to stores and restaurants and to the trail head for Gerakios and Trois Ilots. A couple of upgrades from my last visit: flat screen with streaming (Netflicks, etc) and fresh water.
The location is perfect. 5 minutes walk from the ferry and in the middle of the harbour. The room had new doors out to the balcony which made it very quiet during the night. We stayed on the 3 th floor with a stunning view out of the harbour. The hotel owner is very nice and he let us stay in the room until our ferry left. The wifi was good. It is a standard hotel and it was okey for one night stay during our boathopping.
This room was a dream on the island of Kalymnos. I came with my husband immediately after our wedding on Kos and this room was a refuge and sanctuary! I wish we could've stayed longer! The small balcony plus brand new renovated facilities made this the perfect place to stay. We felt so comfortable and loved being able to walk to Kantouni beach, as well as the Kantouni hotel, for breakfast for sunset cocktails.
Maria and her family were very welcoming. (Quite literally - Maria stayed up until 2.30am to welcome us!) The apartment was clean and comfortable and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. The food in the Barbagiannis Restaurant downstairs was delicious - my son told us that the Lonely Planet Guide to Greece reviewed the Restaurant as the best place on Kalymnos for authentic Greek cuisine.
Absolutely perfect in every way. Super modern room, great location right in front of the water to swim. Super view back over Massouri and all the hustle and bustle of the town seems so far away! We did a hike to the top of the mountain, climbed and went to the beaches, all without a car or scooter. We ate lunch and dinner at a different restaurant every time in our 5 day stay.
The host was absolutely amazing, extremely friendly and even surprised us with complementary soup on a rainy day. Beds are comfy, rooms have airco (both heating and cooling) you can control yourself. The central kitchen has all essential facilities and hot water is always available. Walking distance away from many major climbing crags, such as the iconic Grande Grotta.
Great location and a home-like environment, probably because the owner lives there for part of the year. The owner responded quickly to any issues we had, and there were unfortunately more than a few. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to navigate. Enjoyed the local restaurants and Kalymnos hospitality very much.
Amazing location and view. Detached house in an olive grove. No noise from neighbours and secure outer shutters adequetly blocked the early morning sunlight. Excellent WiFi and plenty of hot water. Close to Skalia crags for climbing with secluded beach nearby. There is a freshwater spring on the property.
Third year in a row here for our climbing vacation, great as usual! Close to some iconic climbing crags, nice swimming pool with stunning view to Grande grotta and Telendos island, clean and spacious apartment with big terrace and see view... just perfect!
The sunrise view here is outstanding! Just unbelievable. The room was large and well equipped. Eirini at reception was just so accommodating and very friendly, always eager to assist.
I don't think you'd get a better view on all of Kalymnos!!
I spent the day after I checked out in and out of the hotel.
The staff member at the desk (Theo/Cleo?) Didn't hear properly was a diamond.
Let me charge my phone behind the desk after he saw me stressing out. Gave me some water.
Total legend
Location was in the heart of the port walking distance to the ferry, restaurants etc. Hotel was very accommodating with an early checkin. The view of the harbour and sea from the balcony in our room was spectacular!
The hotel has a wonderful view from the balcony. It is located near food, shopping and the sights of KALYMNOS. The owner speaks good English and responds to requests for assistance
The best. Just the best. Everything was better than expected. I would say we could not choose a better place to stay. If we return to Kalymnos, we will book with this place again.
