How to travel to Kalymnos

How to travel to Kalymnos

Travelling to Kalymnos can be done in a handful of ways, either by boat or plane. The easiest and fastest options of getting to the island are listed below:

Travelling to Kalymnos by plane

There is a small airport on the island which serves domestic flights, so you can fly to Kalymnos from places like Athens, Leros, Kos or Rhodes. Go to the website of Sky Express to find your flight tickets: https://www.skyexpress.gr/en/

Travelling to Kalymnos by plane

Once you arrive at Kalymnos National Airport, all you do is take a taxi to your desired destination. The airport is located a few kilometers from Pothia (the capital of Kalymnos) and if you drive to Pothia, you have the option of renting a car (or a scooter) at one of the many rental shops. That will ensure you an easy and convenient vacation.

Travelling to Kalymnos by boat

If you have the option of flying to the island of Kos, we recommend that you take a boat from Kos to Kalymnos. Of course, you can sail from another island close by, but leaving from Kos is the quickest and most popular way. The boats sail a handful of times a day – and more often in the summertime.

There are many direct flights to Kos departing from various European cities, but if you can’t find a direct route from your location, you simply change flights. Use Momondo, Norwegian or Skyscanner to help you find cheap flight tickets.

After arriving in Kos airport, you can take a taxi to Mastichari. The port is no more than 10 minutes away by car and the ride will cost you around 15 Euros.

The slow ferry or the fast ferry

Two different boats/ferries leave from Mastichari to Kalymnos – the slow ferry and the fast ferry. The slow ferry is bigger and has room for cars, so if you’re on a road trip and need to bring your car with you, you need to pick this ferry. The trip takes approximately 45 minutes and you can find the time table here: https://www.anemferries.gr/en/δρομολόγια/

The fast boat departs more often, and the trip takes 20-25 minutes. The time table can be found here www.anekalymnou.gr/en/δρομολόγια-κρατήσεις/δρομολόγια.html. When you reach the website, click on the link underneath the “Mastichari route”.

Tickets for both ferries can be purchased at the kiosk by the pier on the day of departure. In June 2019, the price was around 7 € per person.

We went to Kalymnos, with Christina being seven months pregnant in the crazy heat wave of July and August, and with no AC in the house! 🔥😅 That was tough.

In October, our beautiful daughter was born, and we really hope to baptize her at Agios Savvas next summer 🙏🏼💕

Despite the chaos of corona, we hope all of you have created many beautiful memories in 2021 ❤

Καλή Παναγία! 💙 The 15th of August Καλή Παναγία! 💙

The 15th of August is one of the biggest celebrations in the Greek Orthodox faith.

Today we celebrate the Virgin Mary, or Panagia, The Dormition of the Mother of God. This holy day marks the occasion of the Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life. ☦

Χρόνια πολλά 🇬🇷

The favorite beach among many, as the big sandy beach provides comfortable sunbeds with umbrellas, many food and drink options and calm weather (for the most part).

The iconic view with Telendos in the background and the many shops and restaurants just a short distance away, makes this place the perfect spot to spend hours of your day 😀

Relax. Swim. Sunbathe. Repeat. 👌🏼
