Kimolos


The choice of accommodation is quite limited.
For greater convenience, we suggest you to stay in the vicinity of Psathi or Chorio.
There is a minibus shuttle service between Psathi and Chorio. During the summer season it serves several beaches.
There is no bank at Kimolos, but a service station has been up and running since last year. Those who wish to have motorized transport must go to the island of Milos.

 

 

 

Psathi
The port of Psathi is built in the form of an amphitheatre around the bay and is well protected from the prevailing winds by hills where houses have been built sloping down its sides.
It is just a twenty-minute walk from Chorio, so close that its houses almost touch the village. The inhabitants of the island regard Psathi as the "lower neighbourhood" of Chorio.
Psathi is a very peaceful and unpretentious fishing port. It is a welcoming place, with its taverns lining the length of its beautiful sandy beach, bordered by tamarisk trees, boat garages and white painted houses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chorio
Chorio is a pleasant village whose architecture is amongst the most picturesque found anywhere in the Cyclades.
It is made up of two distinct districts which developed at different periods around the "Kastro". It is characterized by twisting lanes, covered passageways, low white-washed or stone houses graced with small flowered courtyards, and interesting churches dispersed here and there, most dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. All roads lead to the "campo", the main triangular-shaped square with churches on each side and a beautiful arcaded edifice. Businesses are traditional and are so discrete they can hardly be seen.
A few family-run cafes and taverns are found around the four corners of the village. They are the only places of entertainment in this quiet little village.
