Kalymnos is among the world’s most “authentic destinations” for summer 2022, according to the popular French TV station, TF1.
The report presents Kalymnos as the island of fishermen, charming with its authenticity and quiet mornings. Special reference is made to the tradition of sponge fishermen, but also to the rising trend of rock climbing for which Kalymnos has become world famous.
The feature on Kalymnos is part of a travel list of destinations from around the world, such as Southwest France, the Croatian island of Pag, the Italian island of Pantelleria and the Bahamas chosen by French television for the unique or alternative experiences they offer.
“Visitors to Kalymnos were significantly increased during this summer season. Our beautiful beaches, underwater wealth, our unique climbing fields, local cuisine, tradition, and quality tourist services are just some of the attractions of our visitors who prefer us every year,” says the mayor of Kalymnos, Dimitris Diakomichalis.
Taking advantage of the dynamics of the current tourist season, the Municipality of Kalymnos is planning targeted journalistic missions with important photographers and journalists in consultation with bodies such as the Offices of the Greek National Tourism Organization of France and Italy, while, for the first time, it is launching a partnership with a specialized tourism marketing company for the implementation of promotional activities.
