Kalymnos Town Holidays from £366

This is a family run hotel. We had an apartment. Basic but very clean and the family are renovating the rooms so they will change soon. Extremely friendly and helpful. Ramona, Danny and family speak a variety of languages - especially Ramona. They could not do enough for you. We arrived after 11pm in the evening and they greeted us and showed us to our rooms. Departing they let us know we could stay as long as we wanted as our flight was not until the evening. Food is really good and I would recommend the Greek omelette for breakfast - delicious. We stayed for the Easter celebrations and it was fab - a bit noisy with the dynamite at times - but a great experience. As it was just before the start of the season not everywhere was open and again due to Easter the opening times of shops etc varied. Fab time was had and we would definitely recommend and go again.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. The pool is stunning, and the staff are incredibly attentive and kind. The location is perfect — quiet, peaceful, and close to everything. They even offer complimentary water by the pool, which is a really thoughtful touch. The atmosphere is so relaxing that it makes you want to come to Kalymnos just to stay at this hotel. Highly recommended!

Check with Nicholas the owner about the wi fi. He is a very nice man, but he knew his wi fi was week at best. He says he's getting it fixed. I actually was only able to see it once, but not connect. We went to another hotel after two days because I needed to use the wifi for a few hours. Sitting outside is not an option as mosquitoes rule the night in Greece. Also, as in most greek hotels, two single hard beds with tiny pillows. Request room without view of powerlines and you will enjoy. Also very important note about the taxis. If you call for a taxi (order one by phone) the taxi (legal by local laws) gets to start running the meter when they leave the office at the other side of the island. You will owe 15 euro before you even get in the car. Hail the cab on the street and make sure he resets his meter. We didn't learn this till we left the island. After an 8 minute taxi to the airport we owed 25 euro. Our taxi driver left the station early and sat downstairs with his meter running for 20 minutes, before we even got in the car. Try to find a local with a car and have him give you a ride for 10 euro. You will both have a nice ride and avoid an unpleasent exit scene at the airport. The nice people at the desk who ordred the taxi for us didn't warn us either. Why is that you might ask? Greece is really hurting for revenue and thier only shot at it right now is to pluck as much as possible from inexperienced visitors.
