Villa Melina is a special and wonderful place. Our room was in the actual Villa and opened onto a huge terrace with an amazing view of the town. I can’t wait to go back and will stay longer next time. Special shout out to the amazing breakfast with home cooked pies and fresh fruit.

Can't beat the location, any climber would love to stay here both for The view and the neighborhood and the proximity the climbs. Relatively basic room, but that is to be expected on this part of the island.

Great location and an awesome villa, located at the heart of Mirties. The rooms were great and the kitchen had everything you need. You also have access to a cute beach from the back of the villa. Restaurants and cafe minutes away and so is the supermarket. There is also parking at the back of the house. The host was super nice and accommodating, answered all our queries promptly and left us very nice food on arrival. Highly recommended!
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.

Kalymnos is an excellent rock climbing destination - as of 2019, there are almost 4000 sport routes established there. Friendly Greek people, excellent food, sunny warm fall days, easy to get around with scooters, a lifetime of rock - this place is worth coming back to.
Everything about our stay was great! The host was super communicative from when we booked our stay through when we checked out. She offered to pick us up from the ferry and drove us to the property, provided a small amount of groceries, and even brought us an traditional Greek meal. The location was amazing - 10-15-minute drive to most climbing areas on the island and just a 5-minute walk to a beach. Everything was in working order and very clean. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this property!
Maria and her family were wonderful hosts who went out of their way to accommodate me and my friend. They were especially flexible with us around our check out when our climbing group went a little bit later than expected. Also, we enjoyed a few meals in their restaurant and everything was so delicious, especially the lamb kleftiko with fasolada and salad. Truly beautiful people and the perfect spot to crash during a week of climbing in Kalymnos.
Location on the beach was excellent. Our time spent having breakfast and early evening drinks watching the sunset on the main terrace was great. The bed was comfortable indeed and the nespresso machine in the room was convenient for morning coffee looking at the view. The staff was very chill, friendly and nonchalant. The hotel beach bar offers free sun beds and an outdoor shower to rinse off before going to your room.
Staying at Spongia was heavenly! You definitely get the best view of the port at Kalymnos in the whole city. The owner and staff are absolutely amazing. They treated us almost like family and helped us out on many occasions. I always look forward to returning back to Spongia and chilling by the balcony of our room - it's the best place to be in the whole port! I can't wait to be back.
I will highly recommend the lions house to anybody , stayed 4 weeks location for me was fantastic ,clean ,accommodating will recommend to my friends and family anytime, the manager of the rental property will get in contact with me to make sure if I needed any assistance with my stay. definitely when I return to kalymnos I will return to the lions house .
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.
The position of the hotel and the view from our room over the port were fantastic. The room was of good size and so was the balcony. The hotel management and the staff were very polite, helpful and tried their best to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We would definitely stay there again!
The room was clean and conveniently located to desirable stores, shops, the beach, restaurants, etc. The staff was perfectly friendly, helpful, and hard working. The hotel chef made the best salad I had on the island and the maid served breakfast like clockwork with a smile.
Excellent stay at a great location, next to everything.
Very comfortable bed and attentive staff.
Big room, quiet which is important since Pothia is busy town, nicely decorated also.
It was cleaned every day.
Great value for money with breakfast included as well.
Exceptional position for climbing, stunning views and sound of sea at night. Mattress ok, shower hot, cooking appliances basic but all necessary facilities available. Had a great time and very happy with the price :D. Many thanks to owner, we will be back.
Simply amazing. The sunset view from our balcony was unforgettable. Friendly hosts, excellent location with a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Great base location for nearby climbing sites. Could not recommend more!
Everything close by and Artemis the host was so helpful as our ferry was cancelled and got there 9.30 pm and also the host let us stay as the ferry leaving Kalymnos was not till 2.20 pm. Very quiet and homely place.
It was like being in a luxurious hotel combined with the cosiness of a house. And every detail was taken care of which made us feel very welcome. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi in the morning sun.
Basic breakfast, extremely friendly staff room is very clean approximately 200 yards from a taxis and also Portier, which is the port. Definitely worth a trip to Massouri beach and telendos
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.
I loved the hotel they couldn’t do enough for you.
My partner actually proposed at this hotel and the helped him with flowers.
The champagne in the room was really appreciated.
I stayed with my husband and three children for five nights. It was a fantastic stay and I would recommend to other families. The hotel is clean and staff is fantastic.
Very very spacious house. Great terace. Well equipped (washing machine, microvawe,....) Good location for climbing (cargs Ghost Kitched, Skalia behind the house).
It’s a luxury climbers hotel! Big suites, ocean view, beautiful pool. The staff is wonderful and the Restaurant was surprisingly delicious! We loved it!
