Vathy

Vathy is located in the middle of an arid and mountainous location, 13 km northeast of Pothia, the capital of Kalymnos. The valley of Vathy is a truly green oasis within the barren land that surrounds it. Its magnificent houses stand on the slopes of two hills while a small part of the settlement stretches in a verdant valley that extends to the natural bay. The bay of Vathy is so narrow that it is characterized as a Greek, island fjord! There you will see a picturesque port full of fishing boats and tourist boats that make daily trips to some of the most interesting sights of Kalymnos. You will also find many fish taverns, where you will enjoy the delicacies of Kalymnos.
