ROCK AND BLUES PUB

Cocktail bar

Located at the entrance to Kantouni beach, this café-bar only has a name and darts advertisement. It is the meeting place for the young - and not so young - people on the island to have a cocktail or a drink in the evening. A real institution since 1978, Rock and Blues promises a moment of relaxation, in the calm of the Kalymnian night. Of course very well placed to enjoy the sunset as well. The area offers some dining options, including a fairly famous steak sandwich, but it won't be your best culinary option around.

WAVES BAR

Bar and caf

On the beach of Platy Gialos, this beach bar has been welcoming holidaymakers since 1980, with an ever-changing friendliness. During the day, you can drink fresh fruit juices, have a snack and enjoy the deckchairs available to customers. In the early evening, you can sit and have an aperitif while watching the sun go down. The palm tree umbrellas, the tiki bar atmosphere and the general relaxation contribute to the success of the place. We won't keep it quiet any longer: it's simply a good place to be. Concerts on certain evenings.

ETHEREAL

Bar and caf

This small café in Massouri offers fresh fruit juices and smoothies (some made exclusively with fruit and vegetables from Kalymnos), as well as full breakfasts and a number of organic dishes, particularly suited to climbers and other sports enthusiasts. A very successful healthy food approach. You'll also find good puff pastries and filled rolls to take away: very practical for a day's picnic, whether at the beach or on the climbing routes. The café's few tables fill up quickly in the mornings at the height of the season.

GLAROS SNACK BAR

This snack-bar-café has been run by two Britons for over 20 years. It's a place where you can drink tea with milk and eat an English breakfast in the morning, unless you prefer a good cold coffee and a vegan menu. Above all, it's a popular place for climbers to meet up after a day's climbing to debrief and decide on the day ahead. You'll find all kinds of weather and other information useful for planning your climbs. The heart of the Kalymnos climbing community. Enjoy the pleasant terrace.

DOMUS

Bar and caf

Overlooking Kantouni beach, this bar has long been a nighttime headquarters for Kalymnos party-goers: Domus has undergone a bit of a transformation since the 1980s, but the party's still going strong! Today, the establishment is open for coffee first thing in the morning and serves a variety of cuisine all day long. In the evenings, the place regains its festive touch, with seasonal DJ sets. Come for a cocktail or aperitif, enjoy it as the sun sets over the Aegean Sea, and then stay to party to the music.
