Why travel by ferry from Kos to Kalymnos?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Kos to Kalymnos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Kalymnos. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Kos to Kalymnos is an ideal way to travel.

To enjoy the incredible sea view
When we are on the coast, we often look for places that offer the best sea view. You'll enjoy a 360-degree view of the ocean from the port of Kos to Kalymnos, whether you're having lunch or relaxing in one of the ship's lounges. Everywhere, large windows give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to make the most of its soothing power.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Kos to Kalymnos by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
You get much more rest than in the car
Long car journeys are tiring and require constant vigilance when driving. Conversely, a Kos Kalymnos boat trip is ultra relaxing. Ferries operated by Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... You're sure to start your holiday in Kalymnos already rested.
