Teil von Dodecanese, Greece
Travel by ferry to Kalymnos, an island in Greece’s Dodecanese, where rugged limestone hills rise above sheltered bays and lively harbour towns. Pothia, the island’s main harbour town on the south-east coast, makes a useful geographical anchor, while Massouri on the west coast draws travellers to its beaches and climbing cliffs. With Kos to the south and Leros to the north, Kalymnos also sits naturally within a wider Dodecanese island-hopping holiday.

Ferry Travel to Kalymnos
Arriving by ferry brings you to Pothia, the main port and capital of Kalymnos, an island in Greece’s Dodecanese group. On the southeastern coast, Pothia is the natural arrival point for a stay in the town itself, with its harbourfront and long association with sponge diving. If you are staying in Myrties or Masouri on the western coast, allow for an onward journey across the island rather than choosing accommodation on the assumption that it is beside the ferry port. These western villages suit travellers heading for the climbing areas or looking towards the neighbouring island of Telendos. Vathy, set around a narrow inlet on the eastern side, is another distinct base that requires an onward road journey from Pothia.
For a wider Dodecanese holiday, Kos lies to the south and Leros to the north, making them geographically sensible destinations to consider alongside Kalymnos. Choosing nearby islands keeps your itinerary focused on this part of Greece, although each change of island adds a transfer day and reduces the time available for exploring ashore. A longer stay on Kalymnos gives you more room to combine Pothia, the western climbing villages and Vathy without repeatedly packing and moving accommodation. When choosing your ferry, weigh the arrival time against the onward journey to your accommodation, especially if your base is away from Pothia.
