It is highlighted by the British Times as the top destination in Greece for climbing Kalymnos in a recent tribute to the most interesting Greek islands for off-peak holidays.

“The “besieged” Greek economy enjoyed a successful tourist season, which continues after August and on islands that offer holidays away from the hordes of tourists and are suitable for “recharging” one’s batteries”, the article emphasizes. Kalymnos is considered, after a journalistic survey, the top choice of climbers.

Sponge Island has a few of the best climbing fields in the world, while at the same time visitors can admire the aesthetics of the picturesque villages, the exceptional examples of neoclassical art with art deco influences, the impressive port, and the Archaeological Museum with the bronze “Lady of Kalymnos” from the 4th century BC. Additionally, the Times feature includes Symi for gastronomy, Agistri for cycling and hiking, Folegandros for sunsets, Serifos for moments of solitude, historic Ithaca, Tinos for water sports, cultural Syros, Paxos for sailing and Hydra for holidays without a car.

“We are organizing our call to journalists and agencies such as the EOT Offices regarding the multi-faceted possibilities of the destination, so that Kalymnos is “prominent” in the proposals of major international media. Although the global uncertainty “born” by the pandemic has so far stood in the way of new initiatives, we are returning dynamically to the field of organizing thematic tourist activities on the island”, added the Mayor of Kalymnia, Dimitris Diakomichalis.
