Kalymnos Community


I am very grateful for the community on Kalymnos. The people on the island, whether born there or seasonal transplants like my wife and I, have been such a source of friendship and support. This feeling of gratitude is what I sense the most when I reflect on my 2017 season on the island. Here are some of the many people who helped make last season so successful for me. With such support, I am really looking forward to a great season in 2018.

I would like to acknowledge the following people and organisations. I have certainly unintentionally left someone out, so my apologies in advance. If you are coming to climb on the island, think about supporting these people in anyway that fits your circumstances. You'll insure that Kalymnos keeps its magical character.
