Massouri is a small seaside town on the western coast of the Greek island of Kalymnos. The settlement is located about 9-10 km north-west of the island's capital city of Potia and only 1 km from the resort town of Myrtyes.

Today Massouri is one of the most popular resort centers of Kalymnos. The crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, excellent beaches, picturesque rocky mountains surrounding the resort, on the lower slopes of which, like an amphitheater, are located traditional white houses literally immersed in greenery, as well as a well-developed infrastructure annually attract thousands of tourists from all over the world to Massouri. Here you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay - a good selection of accommodation (hotels, apartments and rooms for rent in different price categories), excellent restaurants and taverns with excellent local cuisine, cozy cafes and bars, shops, markets and a lot of entertainment.
