Photo and description

Myrtyes is a pretty seaside town on the west coast of the Greek island of Kalymnos. It is located about 8 km northwest of the administrative center of the island of Potia and is one of the most popular resort centers in Kalymnos. The settlement got its name from the abundant myrtle trees growing in its surroundings.

Surrounded by the picturesque green hills of Myrtjes - a traditional Greek settlement with typical architecture for the region, narrow streets, a small cozy harbor and a genuine atmosphere of cordiality and hospitality of the locals residents. The magnificent natural landscapes and delightful landscapes of Myrtyes, an excellent pebble beach, a lot of entertainment and a well-developed infrastructure attract many tourists here every year. In the local taverns and restaurants, you can relax while enjoying traditional Greek cuisine. Lovers of active evening entertainment will not be disappointed either.

Directly opposite the settlement, at a distance of about 700 m, there is a small rocky island of Telendos, which was once one with the island of Kalymnos. This is an ideal place for those wishing to relax in silence, away from the noisy crowds of tourists. Telendos is especially popular among fans of mountaineering. You can get to the island from the port of Myrtyes by a pleasure boat. You can also rent a boat at the port and go on a fascinating sea voyage along the coast of Kalymnos.

Given the close proximity to the island's capital, while resting in Myrtyes, you can visit the sights of Potia.
