Kalymnos is a Greek island in south-eastern Aegean Sea.

The capital of Kalymnos, situated in a natural amphitheatre, is Port of Pothia.

The town features Italianate architecture, a silver-domed cathedral, and the Monastery of St. Savvas, perched on a hilltop overlooking the town.

Sponge diving is a traditional occupation in Kalymnos, with related exhibitons, along with other local folklore, at three local museums.
