Frequently asked questions
What is the best area to stay on Kalymnos for a first visit?
Masouri. It combines the main beach, restaurants, walkable climbing and the Telendos view. Myrties next door is the quieter version.
Where should climbers stay on Kalymnos?
Masouri or Armeos, directly under the main crag band. Many sectors are reachable on foot.
Do I need to book Kalymnos accommodation far in advance?
For July-August and the October festival weeks, yes. Capacity is small. June, September and spring are easier.
