Kalymnos Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Όρμος Καλύμνου serves as the main harbor bay of Kalymnos, the fourth largest island in the Dodecanese chain between Kos and Leros. This sheltered bay anchors a community of nearly 18,000 residents and provides access to the island's famous sponge diving heritage and dramatic limestone cliffs. You'll find yourself surrounded by traditional Greek island architecture while being perfectly positioned to explore the quieter satellite islets dotted around Kalymnos, many inhabited only by grazing sheep and goats.
