Kalymnos is the sponge-diving island of the Dodecanese, rugged and traditional, and much less touristed than neighbouring Kos. The main port and capital is Pothia, on the south coast, where sponge shops and workshops near the harbour are still a visible part of local life. The island has since become a serious international rock-climbing destination, which brings a particular crowd in spring and autumn.
There are around three sailings a week across the two operators in season, split between the fast and conventional services. Current departures, durations and fares are listed below. Kalymnos sits in the middle of the northern Dodecanese chain, with frequent onward links to Kos, Leros and Patmos.
