This was our 4th year in a row staying at Elena Village during peak climbing season (October). It is perfect for young children, so you can have a room separate from your child and don't have to sit in darkness after they go to sleep early. The staff are always extremely kind, friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with plenty of fresh fruits available and an assortment of hot and cold breakfast foods. The pool area is beautiful but the water was too cold for us, as we only like to swim in warm water (but this is due to our own sensitivities and to it being October). Each room has a small kitchenette with microwave, the hotel has its own restaurant, and their laundry room is available for hotel guests to use, which is perfect for families. Overall, Elena Village is really perfect for families, especially those with babies and young kids.

Eirni was a great hostess. She called us when we arrived and had her husband meet our taxi driver to make sure we got to the house ok!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this apartment! Every single detail was perfect, from the immaculate cleanliness to the location. The owner welcomed us with a fruit plate, he was incredibly welcoming and helpful, he helped us to make reservations for dinners and renting car, gave us some nice tips about the island. The apartment was stocked with so many thoughtful amenities! And it really felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend it to everybody.

Cozy nest close to port and across street from lovely beach. Walking distance to shopping and dining, and other beaches. Well thought out design, excellent communication with owners. Nice terrace perfect to sit and enjoy beverages. Spotlessly clean and super comfortable bed. Perfect for our stay! Highly recommended!

I enjoy island hopping around Greece, and Kalymnos is quite convenient in terms of location, because you can visit here while travelling around the islands between Kos and Chios. You can also get to Kalymnos on a day trip from Kos.
However, Kalymnos port town is not the best place to visit. It is noisy with traffic, almost all the food on offer at the harbour front consists of chips and dodgy burgers, and even the seafood and Greek restaurants are terrible. My partner and I have never succeeded in both having a pleasant meal at the same sitting. It just doesn't feel like authentic Greece to me.
I've been to Kalymnos twice and will not go again. I believe some of the seaside towns to the north of the island are nice, but public transport to them is not very frequent, and the beaches are not very accessible to people with mobility problems, so we haven't been there.

Kalymnos is truly a hidden gem in the Dodecanese islands of Greece, offering a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Known primarily for its world-class rock climbing, the island attracts climbers from all over the world who come to tackle its challenging cliffs and stunning routes. The climbing spots are well-maintained and provide breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
Beyond climbing, Kalymnos boasts beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. The underwater world is vibrant and full of life, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts.
The island’s capital, Pothia, is a picturesque town with charming streets, colorful houses, and a lively harbor. It’s a great place to explore local shops, enjoy delicious Greek cuisine at the many tavernas, and soak in the vibrant culture.
Kalymnos is also rich in history and tradition. You can visit the Archaeological Museum to learn about the island’s past, or explore ancient ruins and historic churches scattered around the island.
One of the highlights of Kalymnos is the warm and welcoming local community. The islanders are known for their hospitality and make every visitor feel at home. The annual festivals and events showcase the island’s unique culture and traditions, adding to the rich experience.
In summary, Kalymnos offers a unique and enriching experience for travelers seeking adventure, natural beauty, and cultural immersion. Whether you’re a climber, a beach lover, or a history enthusiast, Kalymnos has something special to offer.

Kalymnos is a more traditional Greek island, it is free of the hustle and bustle of Santorini and Mykonos style islands. However for a traveller who wishes to enjoy a few slower days on a quad bike or hire car to self pace a 4-5 day experience I can highly recommend Kalymnos.

Amazing authentic, unpretentious island.
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.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Maria was great and very helpful - she advised us on where to go climbing, and where to eat, she even offered us a drive to the port. All in all a great experience, a fantastic apartment, and an even better owner. Would recommend 10/10. If you're thinking of where to stay in Kalymnos, this is the place to be.
Great room , very good breakfast and lots of quiet areas to sit including round the pool .
The room cleaning was done daily to high standard and we noticed many of the guests were regulars !
Kalymnos had some lovely areas to visit out from the port and some hidden gems .
Great value for money !
Cleio and her family are fabulous hosts, welcoming, helpful and they immediately make you feel at home. The studios have an incredible location too! Close to the climbing village and beaches.
