We never planned a trip to Kalymnos, but on finding this place we decided to go and never looked back. We loved the hospitality of Marianthi and Stravros who make you feel welcome as you are and go out of their way to help you with your stay - Marianthi even got some groceries for us. The location is outstanding - you can hang out in your private area under pine trees on the huge terrasse and look at the sea, and it's a 30sec walk to the beach where you find a bubbly reggae beach bar setup with free beds, kayaks, and nice people. Everything is created with love and care and is very clean. The beach is remote in a good sense, but it also means that you probably should get your own transport (Stavros rents out scooters). For dinner we recommend the best calamari of the world in the beach bar, or Harrys Restaurant in Emporios. To get to Kalamies from Kos Airport, take a taxi to Mastichari (10min 15€), take the ferry to Kalymnos (around 5 trips per day, 45min 7,5€), and then a taxi to Kalamies Beach (20min 30€).
