Emporios in Kalymnos |
Emporios (or Emborios) is located about 20 kilometres from Pothia, and about 12 kilometres from Massouri. The village lies at the end of the main road, you will not come farther than this on Kalymnos.

Emporios is a charming little village with waterfront tavernas, shops and pensions. The beach - which is divided in two parts - is clearly better than Kalamies just before Emporios. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent and there is plenty of shade from tamarisk trees. The view over the sea and the neighbouring island of Telendos is meditative. Telendos looks completely different from here, almost as if it were a different island than it is.

If you do not want to rent sunbeds and parasols, there is plenty of shade from tamarisk trees.
One of the best things about Emporios is Harry's Restaurant located in a lush garden a little bit above the beach. You feel welcome as soon as you walk the narrow path, bordered with flowers, leading to Harry's. Usually I choose to eat at a waterfront taverna, I want to see the sea when I eat. But Harry's is an exception.

You sit in a small cosy garden and eat. It is truly an oasis of rank. But that is not enough, the food must also be good, and I promise, the food is fantastic. They serve genuine Greek home cooking, often prepared with vegetables from their local production. Do not miss.
