Things to do in Kalymnos

  1. Municipal Athletics Organisation

    In recent years Kalymnos has become something of a mecca for rock climbers. Some spectacular limestone walls backing the resorts now attract legions of climbers looking for seriously challenging extreme sport. There are about 21 documented climbs awaiting the adventurous, pulling in visitors from as early as March onwards. The Municipal Athletics Organisation is a good place to start for the full low-down.

  2. Paradise Restaurant

    A visit here is made more attractive by the lush flower garden and Paradise Restaurant, run by the charming Evdokia. She rustles up a good line in vegetarian dishes, such as revithokeftedes(chickpea rissoles) and filo-pastry turnovers with fillings such as aubergine, vegetables and onion. Stuffed mushrooms or zucchini flowers is another one of her specialities.

    A top choice is I Drosia overlooking Melitsahas harbour. Among the excellent mezedhes on offer are kalognomones (Kalymnian mussels), ahini (sea urchins) and a real treat - whole squid stuffed with creamy feta cheese.

  4. Sunset Restaurant

    Up on the hill overlooking Hohlakas Beach is the Sunset Restaurant, which is a great spot to watch the sunset (naturally), as well as sample an international, yet Dutch-influenced, menu of mains and snacks.
