The tourist traffic in the summer of 2025 for Kimolos was excellent, and it is encouraging that, according to increased demand, the season is expected to expand in the fall. The Mayor of Kimolos is pointed out to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency, the Mayor of Kimolos, Konstantinos Ventouris And he adds that “businesses remain open and, as they all show, an important motivation for traffic will also be the festival of Hosea Method, which will take place on October 4.”

The positive course of the tourist season is attributed, according to Mr. Ventouris, to the systematic effort of the Municipality to highlight the destination and to the warm response recorded on the market.

As Mr Ventouris typically mentions, “The Municipality of Kimolos, receiving the messages of markets and trends in Greece and abroad, has formed a strategy with a modern methodology that has systematically applied by targeting to have the best desired results.”. The strategy developed and approved by the Tourism Committee and the Municipal Council is based on the highlight of the island’s experiential character, identifying the visitor with the destination.

Targeted tourist strategy

“In a time of change in the way travelers approach, the Municipality of Kimolos has shown to” listen “to the new trends that are being shaped internationally. Instead of choosing the usual method of communicating with the Greek and international public, proposing slogans that describe the destination, made the difference: “Talk” to the visitor’s soul, identifying it with the island. In short, we said to our candidate visitor that Kimolos is the other side of himself and we sent the message: “Kimolos, like you, unique, authentic, true.” Because, in fact, our island is presented without “pistachios”, keeping its character away from mass tourism, responding to the value-price relationship, which “responds” to modern demands and justifies any holiday choice for the whole spectrum of ages whether they are individual, couples or families. “ Mr. Ventouris emphasizes in RES-EIA.

He himself as a pleasant fact that “This different, more humane, approach finds a response to the Greek and foreign media, thanks to the broad information campaign that has been” unfolded “lately by our municipality, with the help of our consultants, our EOT offices and the international contacts we have created. In fact, we made sure to present the image of the island with the use of modern technology by promoting a bilingual electronic “magazine” in the Greek and foreign market..

As the Mayor of Kimolos points out, “our strategy focuses on the experiential elements of the destination and its unique advantages, what the modern visitor is looking for today. And it is no coincidence that recent research from America ranked Prassa as the first beach with the clearer waters. Because, I would add, as crystal clear, the waters that surround our island, as clear is its image in the eyes of every visitor with quality searches. “

A traditional Cycladic jewelry

Kimolos is an island with rich historical recordings. According to tradition, its first mythical settlement was Kimolos to whom it owes its name. In the Middle Ages and until the times of the Greek Revolution of 1821 it was called Arzadera or Arzndera, a word of Venetian origin, due to its silver -shaped rocks to the south.

It maintains a special character, as since antiquity it is “monopolis”, that is, it has only one main village, which has the same name (village) and is the only urban center. There we meet the medieval castle and museums and a little above the windmills. The whole village is beautiful with magnificent views and with characteristic Cycladic touches located on the narrow snakes.

Despite its small size, Kimolos has over 80 churches and chapels. Many are truly unique to their architectural value, icons and images. The Metropolitan Church of Our Lady of Odigitria is one of Kimolos’ most important and imposing monuments, linking the island’s religious life with its history and cultural heritage.

In the northwestern part of Kimolos, there is a huge stone mushroom that the inhabitants call it “shadow”. A monument of nature that owes its creation to the different rocks that make up it. It is a rare monument, not only for Greece but globally, impressive for its size and form, which is integrated into the Atlas of the Aegean Geological Monuments.

Kimolos, in addition to its unparalleled natural beauty, is also famous for its unique gastronomy, based on pure and local ingredients that offer a feast of flavors. But it also has unique beaches, such as Prassa, the most popular of the island where white sand with turquoise waters make up an idyllic landscape and managed to distinguish the honor of the “clearer beach in the world”.

Next to the road to Prassa, we come across Livadaki, which looks like an oversized protected pool, Psathi which is essentially the port of the island where the line arrives from Piraeus and the ferry boat from the neighboring Milos, the stream where a large rock in the sea in the sea. of Goupas on the rocks of Kara the small Sarakiniko of Kimolos, Klima, Zacharia overlooking Polyegos, the beach in the chapel of Agios Nikolaos built in the 18th century, the coast of Alyki, Bonachasa, Kalamitsi and the Divisions for Swimming “Aspragremna” offered for artistic photography.
