This is the second time I've stayed at Elena Village. My friend and I use it as our homebase to climb, but we also work from abroad here. It's the perfect place to feel like you are on a real holiday in Kalymnos – not just a climbing trip.

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.

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.
Wonderful location right by the sea with a superb view from our balcony. The accommodation was very comfortable with very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts - Aphrodite and Manolis. Breakfast provisions were very good and we enjoyed our breakfast overlooking the sea each day. There was a choice of excellent tavernas close at hand. The ferry service to Kalymnos was regular and reliable; as was the local bus to Pothia.
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.
Our host was tremendous. She gave us numerous tips for travel and sight-seeing on the island, she also brought us some pastries unique to Kalymnos. The residence was superb. Very clean, comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The location was central to the main village and the supermarket was only a 3 minute walk away. We thoroughly recommend this listing for anyone traveling to Kalymnos.
The host was absolutely amazing, extremely friendly and even surprised us with complementary soup on a rainy day. Beds are comfy, rooms have airco (both heating and cooling) you can control yourself. The central kitchen has all essential facilities and hot water is always available. Walking distance away from many major climbing crags, such as the iconic Grande Grotta.
Amazing location and view. Detached house in an olive grove. No noise from neighbours and secure outer shutters adequetly blocked the early morning sunlight. Excellent WiFi and plenty of hot water. Close to Skalia crags for climbing with secluded beach nearby. There is a freshwater spring on the property.
This is an amazing house! Ive stayed in several on the island and this is the best by a long shot. Clean, very modern, new, prefect hosts, who do anything to help, AC, mosquito nets (important!), shutters, good bathroom, hot water, perfect kitchen, 1m$ view. Walking distance to many climbing sectors.
The room was very clean and well decorated with high quality furniture!! Balcony with an amazing view ! The best spot to stay in kalymnos! Highly recommended!!!! Miss Liana is really polite and helpful!!! Thank you for everything! See you next summer!!
I spent the day after I checked out in and out of the hotel.
The staff member at the desk (Theo/Cleo?) Didn't hear properly was a diamond.
Let me charge my phone behind the desk after he saw me stressing out. Gave me some water.
Total legend
Location was in the heart of the port walking distance to the ferry, restaurants etc. Hotel was very accommodating with an early checkin. The view of the harbour and sea from the balcony in our room was spectacular!
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
Nice and authentic property with a nice location in Kalymnos. We loved spending time by the pool when we  were not exploring the island. The owner Anthoni was very helpful and friendly.
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.
Hotel was perfect location for stay.Short walk from Port,Bus station,restaurants etc.
Manager was helpful.Room was clean and comfy with great balcony view of Harbour front.
Very very spacious house. Great terace. Well equipped (washing machine, microvawe,....) Good location for climbing (cargs Ghost Kitched, Skalia behind the house).
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and amazing views over the harbour. Well located to walk down into Pothia and up to the Folklore museum and monastery.
