Hotels near Kalymnos National Airport - JKL, Kalymnos

good restaurants, good bus service, helpful people, close to beach, good walking area. superb scenery, good centre for visiting other areas of the island. Panormos is sometimes spoilt by noisy motorbikes/ scooters in early hours and of course the area suffers from exaust pollution. The area is renowned for climbers, if that is your choice, swimming is safe in main beaches on the island. Walkers are well catered for on the many paths on the hills.

Kalymnos and Telendos are very attractive Islands. Short ferry trip between the two is 3 euros with stunning views. Masouri is the centre for sport rock climbers from around the world. The paths created to get to the crags give steep walks for others to enjoy the scenery or watch their climbing activities. Sunset over Telendos from Masouri is quite stunning.

Relatively low-key, likeable resort. Not traditional, but not an eye-sore either. There's a mini market, a few taverns a couple of indifferent bars and a pleasant enough beach (pebbles, a bit of sand, some reefs) with a view of the amazing Telendos islet. You can walk to Melitsaha (around 10') or Massouri (also 10'). Sadly, the exhausts are right in your face as you walk along the main road, which even in late September was too busy with cars and noisy mopeds. For eating or a glass of smooth raki (a kind of Greek grappa) or even an afternoon coffee, the Smugglers' Cott has great sea views, pleasant food and excellent service.

Amazing wonderful and unforgettable island 🫶 i am used to high comfort, I like people, modern style.. this is something I wasnt prepared to like, but it took my breath away, I fell in love with the atmosphere, the views, the sunset. OMG- massouri, myrties, melitsachas. Wooow

I was on a climbing holiday and it was much more peaceful than Masouri, if that is what you like. Meeting friends in Masouri in the evening was awkward because of travel and drink driving. However, I did drink less as a result and probably felt better.

Restaurants, small grocery stores, and bars in Masouri and Myrties and easily walkable. In November, the tourist season comes to an end and some restaurants and stores shut down for the winter. However, there are still a few places still open for business. Most restaurants serve classic Greek food as well as seafood - the fresh fish is a go to. The small grocery markets supply simple but comprehensive supplies. Mostly a climber town in the spring and fall months, I saw mainly rock climbers and it was a chill vibe. If you plan to stay here for climbing or exploring, know that you need an international or EU drivers license in order to rent a car or scooter. There is plenty of climbing within walking distance, however, so that you could make do without transportation. The locals here are awesome and friendly and it's a fantastic place to spend a couple weeks if you are climbing or exploring the Greek islands.
