Map & location
Pothia, Kalymnos Island, Greece
Set in Pothia, the whitewashed capital of Kalymnos, Evanik Chic Hotel puts you steps from everyday Greek island life. Wander narrow lanes to find frescoed churches, family‑run bakeries and seafood tavernas, or head down to the bustling harbour for coffee with a view of brightly painted fishing boats.
Pothia is also your launchpad for the island’s famous climbing routes and hidden bays. Buses and taxis connect you to the west‑coast resorts and crags, while regular boats run to neighbouring Kos and Leros for easy day trips.

Pool & outdoors

• Popular west‑coast bays and swimming spots are within a short drive
• Pothia harbour is the jumping‑off point for boat trips to nearby islands and coves
For guests who prioritise exploring over pool days, it’s a practical, well‑located choice.

On‑site facilities keep things simple and easy between adventures:
• Cycling facilities and bike hire* – handy for exploring the island on two wheels
• Concierge‑style reception – local tips and help with taxis, ferries and excursions
• Luggage storage – useful if you arrive early or depart late
There’s no full spa or gym on site, but the location makes it straightforward to arrange outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing or boat trips through local operators.

More info
Kalymnos sits off the coast of Kos in the Dodecanese, with Pothia as its busy little capital. Language is Greek, currency is the Euro (€), and the time difference from the UK is typically +2 hours. Average flight time from the UK to Kos (KGS) is around 4.5 hours, followed by a road transfer to Mastichari port and a ferry crossing of approximately 40 minutes to Kalymnos.
Do bear in mind that ferry schedules can mean waits of several hours at Mastichari, and adverse weather sometimes causes overnight stops in Kos on arrival or before departure. Local costs are generally good value, with harbour tavernas serving fresh seafood and local wine, and easy boat connections for day trips to neighbouring islands.
