Tourism has become another source of income for the island’s residents, who the last few years have been watching their island flood with more visitors, who appreciate the tranquility of the island and its beautiful beaches. Even though a high number of visitors come from excursions from other near by islands, especially from Kos, Kalymnos has managed to become an autonomous holiday destination, with a variety of accommodation options ranging from five star hotels, to rooms to rent. Kalymnos successfully maintains its traditional island character and combines contemporary comforts with its unique traditions. If you are looking for a relaxed getaway from daily routine, whether on your own, with company or family, Kalymnos will definitely have something to offer. Five and four star hotels are well worth a visit as you will feel like you’re in an entirely different world. Lower star hotels and rooms to rent are more suitable to families and to a group of friends. For more independent travelers there are small pension houses and studios available. Whatever your choice, Kalymnos will turn out to be a lifetime experience and an unforgettable stay.
