www.cyclades-tour.gr CHAT ROOM “Kimolos” Kimolos, because Andreas and Natasha insist. They must know something. After all, Kimolos is very beautiful. I felt almost ashamed. They know everything about Kimolos and the sea park and its natural environment, the seals and the history of the island. It's a chance to find out more before you visit. I'm already reading. I even discovered what the local specialty is, and it's called “LADENIA”! Get recommendations “Kimolos takes its name from Kimolos and has given it to common chalk. It is a particularly beautiful island, both above and below the surface of the sea. Everywhere are found interesting sights of architectural and folklore interest, unrivalled natural beauty spots, interesting people and exciting activities. It is yet another world waiting to be discovered in the <strong>Cyclades</strong>.” How to get there You can visit the island by passenger boat from Piraeus, or by airplane from the airport of adjoining Milos, which is connected daily with Kimolos by ferry and caiques. 144
Ê ÉÌ O L O S Kimolos, between Sifnos and Milos, is a favourite destination for those in search of peaceful holidays outside the touristic mainstream, in an enchanting setting with fascinating historical, but also and unique geological monuments like "Skiadi”, a rare mushroom-shaped formation that can provide shade to even 40 people. This volcanic island, with a surface area of 36 square kilometers, has a unique variety of rocks, dominated by the white colour of the “land of chalk”, while its coastline is interspersed with sandy beaches in some places and elsewhere by imposing, sheer rocks. Volcanic and mountainous Kimolos offers a unique variety of rocks, as well as very interesting fauna, which includes many migratory bird species. The wetland of Alyki is significant. According to mythology, Kimolos was named after its first settler, Kimolos. It has been inhabited since at least the Mycenaean period and is known since antiquity for its chalk mines – a major source of income for the island. It is a special destination Chorio or Kimolos, the capital of the island, is a picturesque Cycladic settlement situated inland around the Venetian castle of the 17th century. The settlement consists of two settlements, Palio Chorio (Old Village) and Kenourio Chorio (New Village), and is distinguished by its lovely snow-white houses and traditional windmills. The castle is divided into two settlements, Mesa Kastro (Inner Castle) and Exo Kastro (Outer Castle) – excellent examples of Aegean defensive architecture – connected through “portares” (entrance gates). Inside the castle lie the remains of the West Gate of the Mesa Kastro, the South Lower Gate from 1650 and the East Higher Gate from 1646. Inside the Kastro lies the church of Christ dating from the 16th century – the oldest on the island. Inside the cathedral of Panagia Odigitria, decorated by the 145
