Yacht Charters in Kalymnos Island
Kalymnos Island belongs to the Dodecanese group which is located west of Turkey. This island lies between two other famous Greek islands, Kos and Leros. Like the rest of its sister islands, Kalymnos is a lovely island with its natural beauty of coves, bays, caves, beaches, groves and landscapes. This particular island is known for its industry in sponge-fishing where most men work as sponge-fishers; this particular fishing can last for five months.
Exploring its natural wonders like the caves and hot therapeutic springs are the best things to do while in Kalymnos Island. For that reason you should rent a yacht so you can explore the island better! As an island, there are many beaches worth visiting like those located in the eastern and western side. Some of the popular beaches you can rest your rental boat and swim in Kalymnos are Mirties, Panormos and Ormos Akri. Aside from these beaches, there are some coves and inlets in this island that are very secluded that a chartered water vessel like a sailing yacht is a perfect choice.
By far, Kalymnos is one of the best places for sailing and yachting holidays. This island has six bays where you can choose to anchor and moor your hired vessel. Emborios is also known as Ormiskos Vorio is a small bay that can offer shelter against meltemi. Since this bay is rather small and oftentimes crowded with many fishing boats it is best to anchor further from the bay.
Limin Kalymnos is also a god place to stay away from meltemi but skip this bay if the southerly winds tend to be strong. However, if you anchor in this place there are some tavernas as well as fuel and water in its quay.
Vathi is a gorgeous fjord with its groves of lemons and oranges. If you like scenery, then this is for you not to mention the basic amenities of fuel, water, tavernas and shelter from meltemi.
Lastly, Vlikathio is a small bay but is home to those lovely holiday villas. This place is a shelter from meltemi as well as its tavernas for some food and drinks.
You can rent a sailing boat and start your trip to Kalymnos from our base in Rhodes or Kos.
