🍂☀️ 10 Wonderful Things to Do in Kalymnos in September

September is one of the best months to discover Kalymnos. The sea remains beautifully warm, the days are still sunny, the intense heat of August begins to fade, and the island gradually returns to a calmer, more relaxed rhythm.

If you are planning a September holiday in Kalymnos, here are 10 experiences you should not miss!

1️⃣ Enjoy the beaches without the crowds

Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Masouri, Platis Gialos, Kantouni, Myrties, Arginonta or Palionisos. The sea is still wonderfully warm in September, while the beaches are noticeably quieter than during the peak summer season.

2️⃣ Try rock climbing

With more comfortable temperatures, September marks the beginning of the ideal climbing season. Kalymnos is one of the world’s leading rock-climbing destinations, offering routes for beginners as well as experienced climbers.

Even if you have never climbed before, you can book an introductory lesson with a qualified local instructor.

3️⃣ Spend a day on Telendos

Take the small boat from Myrties and, within a few minutes, arrive on a peaceful island with no cars.

Walk through its charming narrow streets, swim at Potha or Hohlakas Beach and stay until the evening to enjoy a delicious meal and the magical sunset.

4️⃣ Take a boat trip

Join an organised excursion or hire a small boat to discover Pserimos, Plati, the fjord-like harbour of Vathy and some of Kalymnos’ more secluded beaches.

It is a wonderful way to see the island from a different perspective and swim in clear turquoise waters that resemble a natural pool.

5️⃣ Explore the island’s old walking trails

September is an excellent month for hiking, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon.

Follow the old Italian path towards Vathy, walk from Kantouni to Agios Fotis or discover trails leading to remote chapels, historic castles, dramatic viewpoints and hidden coves.

6️⃣ Discover the underwater world

Kalymnos has a fascinating underwater landscape filled with caves, rocky formations, shipwrecks and marine life.

You can book an organised diving experience or simply take a mask and snorkel to explore the waters around Vlyhadia, Telendos, Masouri or Arginonta.

7️⃣ Take a road trip around Kalymnos

Rent a car—or, if you already have sufficient riding experience, a scooter or ATV—and explore the island at your own pace.

Travel from Masouri towards Arginonta, Skalia and Emporios, and continue to Palionisos or the beautiful green valley of Vathy. Along the way, you will discover panoramic viewpoints, small beaches and traditional seaside tavernas.

8️⃣ Learn about the history of the sponge divers

Walk along the waterfront of Pothia, visit the island’s museums and traditional sponge workshops, and learn about the courage and difficult lives of the famous Kalymnian sponge divers.

Sponge diving is not simply an old profession—it is one of the most important parts of Kalymnos’ history, culture and identity.

9️⃣ Visit the island’s historical and religious landmarks

Climb up to the Castle of Chora and enjoy the panoramic view over Pothia and the Aegean Sea.

You can also visit the impressive Monastery of Agios Savvas, Chrysocheria Castle and some of the many beautiful monasteries and small chapels found across the island.

🔟 Taste the local cuisine while watching the sunset

No visit to Kalymnos is complete without trying some of its traditional flavours!

Taste local stuffed vine leaves known as “fylla,” mouri, spinialo, fresh fish, octopus, local cheeses and aromatic thyme honey.

End your day at a seaside restaurant in Masouri, Myrties, Emporios or Telendos, enjoying the sunset and the peaceful atmosphere of September.

💙 September in Kalymnos offers everything we love about summer—warm seas, sunshine and outdoor experiences—but with more comfortable temperatures, fewer crowds and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

It is the perfect time to discover not only the island’s beaches, but also its nature, history, cuisine and authentic local character.

☀️ What to Do on a Hot Day in Kalymnos 🌊

When the temperature rises, the best way to enjoy Kalymnos is to slow down, stay close to the sea and plan outdoor activities for the cooler hours.

Start your day with an early-morning swim at Masouri, Myrties, Kantouni, Linaria or Vlychadia, before the sun becomes too strong. The clear waters are also perfect for a relaxing snorkelling session.

Later, take the small boat from Myrties to Telendos and enjoy a peaceful lunch by the sea, a refreshing swim and one of the most beautiful sunsets in the area.

During the hottest hours of the afternoon, choose a shaded seaside taverna, visit one of the island’s museums, enjoy an iced coffee or simply return to your accommodation for some rest.

After 18:00, explore Pothia, visit the harbour, drive to Vathy for dinner or enjoy a sunset drink in Masouri, Myrties or Melitsahas.

On extremely hot days, avoid hiking, climbing and long walks under the midday sun. Always carry water, wear sunscreen and choose shaded places whenever possible.

The perfect hot-day plan in Kalymnos:

🏊 Early swim
🤿 Snorkelling
🍽️ Long seaside lunch
😴 Afternoon rest
🌅 Sunset and dinner by the sea

Kalymnos is even more beautiful when you enjoy it slowly. 💙

⚠️ A recent rescue operation on Telendos is an important reminder: this is NOT an easy hiking trail.

The circular route involves exposed, rocky terrain and requires experience, good physical condition, proper hiking footwear, sufficient water, careful planning, and an early start.

Before you go:
• Never hike alone.
• Tell someone your planned route.
• Know your limits.

Every rescue operation puts both hikers and rescuers at risk.

The best rescue is the one that never has to happen.

⚠️ Η πρόσφατη επιχείρηση διάσωσης στην Τέλενδο αποτελεί μια σημαντική υπενθύμιση.

Το μονοπάτι του γύρου της Τελένδου δεν είναι μια απλή πεζοπορία. Απαιτεί εμπειρία σε ορεινό και βραχώδες πεδίο, πολύ καλή φυσική κατάσταση, κατάλληλο εξοπλισμό, επαρκή ποσότητα νερού και σωστή προετοιμασία.

Πριν ξεκινήσετε:
✔️ Ενημερώστε κάποιον για τη διαδρομή σας.
✔️ Μην επιχειρείτε τη διαδρομή μόνοι.
✔️ Ξεκινήστε νωρίς το πρωί.
✔️ Σεβαστείτε τις δυνατότητές σας και τις συνθήκες.
