Early mornings on Pserimos are glorious. The beach is quiet and you can go for breakfast in any taverna without a fuss or a wait. Without the hordes, you can go for a pleasant early morning swim or sit and absorb the essence of the island. Around 2000 visitors will arrive here daily in high…
This isn’t my first trip to Pserimos. Like many others, I once sailed in on a day trip from Kos or Kalymnos. From my recollection, I came in on a boat from Kos well over twenty years ago. It wasn’t one of the large pirate ships that I’d seen along the marina in Kos town…
The final destination of our trip will be Pserimos. To get there from Lipsi will require an overnight stay on Kalymnos – Pothia the port town in fact. The first time that I visited Kalymnos (over 20 years ago) was a short stay in Pothia whilst waiting for a boat to Astypalea. The weather had…
2 Week Itinerary – Explore the Dodecanese on a two-week island-hopping route that takes you from bustling Kos to tiny, peaceful Pserimos.

My last few days on Kalymnos were very relaxed – no bus journey’s or trips over to Telendos – just a couple of days spent chilling in and around Myrties. One day I walked to Melitsachas beach and then I had a little amble around Melitsachas Marina on the way back. The rest of the…
I knew from previous visits that the bus service is a perfectly adequate way to get around the island. Apostolis had given me a print out of the bus timetable when I arrived at the hotel so I set off early one morning with this clutched in my hot little hand. Here is the link…
The man in the rock was calling me so how could I resist? I awake early and head over to the jetty where the water taxi’s depart for Telendos. There was just me and another person waiting for the boat and in 10 minutes we were there. My first impression upon arrival after so many…
I arrived at the port of Pothia on the Dodekanisos Pride. My very first trip to Kalymnos 18 years ago when I’d stayed in the main town of Pothia whilst waiting for a connection to Astypalia. I wasn’t impressed. Pothia, being the port town, was busy and it wasn’t the beautiful island destination that I’d…
