The shipping platform

Location: Kalymnos is located at the southern end of Kalymnos Island, approx 175nm ESE of Athens.Kalymnos island itself is situated between the islands of Kos and Leros in the southeastern Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean). General overview: The port serves as a modal hub for transporting cargo, vehicles and passengers but also as the main facility for tourist ships and boats. The harbour is protected from the SE by a mole approx 0.2nm in length. Good shelter is afforded, even during strong N winds. Some swell enters during strong W winds. Depths are generally from 6.0-8.0m, but the NW side of the harbour is shallow. The bottom consists of mud and weed, the holding is uncertain. The port handles dry cargoes and fish. There are limited facilities. A heavy swell enters the harbour when southerly winds are blowing. There are two main mooring options for yachts, both of which involve anchor mooring to the quay. There is space for some 12-15 yachts stern-to the quay at the SW end of the harbour. The island of Kalymnos is connected by ferry with Athens (Piraeus), Kos, Patmos, Rhodes, Astypalea and other islands.
