Kimolos, the hidden gem of the Cyclades

Kimolos is a beautiful, picturesque island in the Aegean Sea, ideal for quiet holidays and carefree summer escapes. Its beaches are known for their turquoise waters, while the landscape retains its authentic beauty.

Its volcanic origin has shaped impressive rocky formations and the island’s distinctive white “chalky earth” from which Kimolos takes its name (< kimolia = chalk). This element dominates the landscape and gives the island its unique identity. Kimolos is also home to thermal springs and offers opportunities for both relaxation and outdoor activities. The island’s capital is Chorio, a traditional Cycladic settlement with simple architecture, picturesque cobbled alleys, and an atmosphere that reflects the island’s sense of calm and understated charm.

With Magic Sea Ferries, travel becomes even more comfortable and effortless. Passengers enjoy complimentary bus transfers to the port of Lavrio from the airport and Koropi, ensuring a smooth and relaxing journey from the very start.
