Local tips
Quiet fishing village with a ferry connection to Kalymnos running from the harbour. The sandy bottom is consistent and gently shelving, making entry and exit easy at any skill level. Hotel Horizon Blue sits right on the beach with pool and restaurant. Arrive early to secure a good launch spot as the beach fills up in July and August.
