Kalymnos of the past

Overview of Kalymnos of the past

While in Pothia, visit the Archaeological Museum (one of the best in the Greek islands) and the Castle of Panagia Chrysoheria (aka Castle of the Knights of Saint John). On your way to Chorio, the ancient capital of Kalymnos, you can admire the byzantine Pera Castro, a village/fortress with great views. Outside Pothia, you can also see the early Christian church of Jesus of Jerusalem, built on the remains of the ancient temple of Delian Apollo.
