Telendos

Did you know that this tiny beautiful island formed part of Kalymnos in antiquity, but was separated in 554 AD due to a devastating earthquake. Today there is only one small village on the island. Follow walking paths through the dense pine forest on the south of the island, where also ruins of Byzantine residencies still stand. Swim in sundrenched beaches (like Plaka, Potha, and Paradise), go scuba diving and explore the ancient city sunk between Kalymnos and Telendos or go hiking, climbing, wind surfing, canoe-kayaking and spear fishing! You can reach Telendos by boat departing from the cove of Mirties at Kalymnos.
