A magnetic fjord in eastern Kalymnos
Discover Kalymnos' unique natural beauty by visiting Vathy, a picturesque coastal village on the island's east, boasting a fjord-like, elongated bay. You reach it by crossing a lush valley filled with orange and mandarin groves, which exude the scents of nature and invite you to stop and admire the unique colours.
The quiet harbour of Rina in Vathy hosts caiques, small fishing boats that organise trips to nearby beaches, and leisure craft; it is also perfect for a relaxed stroll along the quay.
Nearby lies one of the island's most important archaeological sites: the prehistoric Daskalio Cave, which you can reach by boat. You can also discover Byzantine churches, such as Panagia i Kyra Chosti, which dates back to the 11th century and is just a few minutes' walk from the scenic harbour.
During your stay, you might indulge in sea kayaking, try your hand at fishing, or, with the appropriate gear, embark on a climbing expedition. A small boat from the harbour offers access to nearby beaches (Mikres Almyres, Megales Almyres, Pezonda), or you could take a dip from the concrete steps lining the harbour.
Charming tavernas offer a delightful array of fresh seafood and traditional dishes, perfectly complementing your island experience.
Vathy combines simplicity and beauty in a way that makes it stand out and remain etched in your memory.
