A one week stay in Pothia…

5 / 5

The main town and ferry port of Pothia is a good place to stay. Very attractive small town with lots of great places to eat, explore and relax. Kalymnos is not really a place for avid beach fans but there are several small and pretty shingle/sand, uncrowded beaches where one can sunbathe and swim. These can be reached by taxi, hired car or sometimes by bus( while I was there, there was a big problem with the buses). This small island, along with many other Greek islands are still suffering from the economic problems of the 2008 financial world crash and illegal migration but the people are warm, friendly and welcoming to families, couples and those travelling alone. Only downside, when walking in Pothia is having to avoid fast moving cars and scooters that hare through the narrow streets, without pavements, in Pothia. This island is also a very good place for serious rock climbers. My English friend who now lives there says it is very safe place to live with a very low crime rate and any few signs of any hostility to visitors. …The main town and ferry port of Pothia is a good place to stay.

5 / 5

Great stay. Extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly staff. When we had a slight problem with a drain it was fixed while we were out the next day. Very comfortable beds, loads of (good quality) towels and toiletries. Rooms are a generous size. In the heart of Masouri but set back from the road so the hotel is quite at night, but convenient for Masouri's many excellent bars and restaurants.…

Fatolitis Studios was an excellent place for my husband and I to stay while climbing in Kalymnos for a month. We were there in the winter (Jan/Feb), and while no restaurants or shops were open, the studio was a great place to hang out. Excellent views of Telendos and the water from the balcony, as well as the cliffs and the afternoon sunshine! There was heat, HOT showers, and enough room for one person to do yoga. The kitchenette contained a double burner hot place, mini fridge, panini grill, electric tea kettle, and just enough dishes, pots and pans. The studios are in an excellent location, we could easily walk to many of the climbing sectors (closest trailheads were Grande Grotta and Poets). The studio managers were very easy to get ahold of and were very accomodating. We will definately stay here again on our next trip! …Fatolitis Studios was an excellent place for my husband and I to stay while climbing in Kalymnos for a month.

Not pleasant at all…

2 / 5

It wasn't a pleasant enjoyable staying. The drain from shower clogged, standing in 5 cm high water. Very little water coming out. And first minute water smelling rotten. WC hard to flush out. Bad construction. Kitchen very small possibilities making anything. No micro. No toaster. One very little pot for heating water leaking. They said that renewing should be done, very good, but when, 2 or 3 years. Didn't ask.…It wasn't a pleasant enjoyable staying. The drain from shower clogged, standing in 5 cm high water.
