Pothia

Pothia is the first location the visitor sees as soon as it goes down from the boat. Builted from side of the mountain to the sea constitutes the capital of island and his harbour. .

Traditional buildings with intense colours, busy streets and graphic alleys compose an impressive picture that remains engraved in the memory

The Temple of Sotiros Christos (Savior Christ) in the centre of the street with the eminent temple of Halepas, the ancient settlement Damos, the cavern of the nymphs and the Castle of Hrysoheria are certain from the parts that it deserves who deserve to be seen in the city of Kalymnos, as is differently named Pothia.

Apart from the monuments the city is also famous for the beaches, Gefyra (Bridge) and Therma (Hot).

In the city of Pothia it strikes also the heart of sponge peach. Laboratories of treatment of sponge, small shops that sell even diving suits make the visitor understand why Kalymnos is still considered the island of sponge.
