Pothia

Pothia is a quaint capital of Kalymnos Island, Greece situated on the southern side of the island near the old capital of Chora. Delve into the rich history of the port city at the Maritime and Folklore Museum. History enthusiasts can trace the fascinating past of Pothia dating back to 1850 when the island was established. Head to Agios Sabbas Monastery, a charming Greek Orthodox church for stunning views of the city and a fitting place to watch a gorgeous sunset over the Aegean Sea. Visit Chora Castle, a 14th century Byzantine castle built by the Knights of St John which provides great views of Pothia and Kalymnos. Drive past Chora Castle and reach Chrsocheria Castle, one of the iconic landmarks of Kalymnos perched above a hill.
