Palaiologos family in the 15th century, with icons and a 17th century screen, there is the icon of the Panagia (Virgin). Other churches worth visiting are the church of Evangelistria (1608), with a carved screen and beautiful icons, Agios Ioannis o Chrysostomos, with the icon of St. John from the 18th Century, Agios Nikolas, Agios Georgios, Agii Anargyri, the church of the Taxiarches and Agios Spyridon. Finds from the excavations carried out in Ellinika, among them ceramic vessels, a sepulchral stele of the 7th century and richly decorated coins, are exhibited in the Archaeological Museum. The port of Kimolos is the holiday resort of Psathi, on the east coast of the island, at a distance of 1.5 km from Horio. A characteristic feature of this settlement are the “syrmata” with their colourful doors, caves on the beach where the fishermen tie their boats. Feasts and flavours Kimolos maintains the traditions of the Cycladic islands in an admirable way, observing the cycle of annual feasts with local music, dances and good cheer. The focal point of the celebrations on the island is the 21st of 1 November, when the feast of Panagia Odigitria and the custom of the icon is celebrated. On the 15th of August, a large island festival takes place during the feast of Panagia Konomu, as well as on the 20th of July the day of the Prophet Elias, and on the 27th of July at Prassa on the day of Agios Panteleimon. Smaller festivals take place on the 26th of July, the feast of Agia Paraskevi at Xaplovouni and on the 5th of October, the feast of Ossia Methodia. The “Politistikos Avgoustos” (Cultural August) festival is held in Kimolos every summer, with exhibitions, sports events, children events, performances, competitions, and dance and music nights. Traditional fare in Kimolos includes the scrumptious “ladenia” (bread dough topped with tomatoes and onions baked in a roasting pan with plenty of oil), eggs with potatoes and onions, traditional manouri (fresh whey white cheese) and “xino” cheese (soft fresh cheese with a sour flavour), while the limpets, rice and red mullets with capers are exceptional savoury dishes. The paximadia (dry rusks) blended with schinokokko, the tomato paste and the local honey are exceptional. Routes for all Sightseeing in Ellinika. The ancient city of Kimolos, which sunk into the sea during an earthquake in the 1st century A.C., lies in the area of Ellinika or Limni. The remains of ancient houses, the cemetery at the end of the beach and its acropolis lie on the islet of Agios Andreas. At the bottom of the channel between Kimolos and Agios Andreas lie the remains of houses and graves, whilst in Ellinika there is a diving centre. 146
K i m o l o s 2 Klima - Paleokastro. In Paleokastro, the highest point in Kimolos (397m), lie the remains of houses and a round tower, as well as part of the outer wall called “Portara” by the locals. Excavations here brought to light vessels from the geometric and archaic ages. 3 Paleokastro - cave of Vromolimni, on the north coast of the island. 4 Paleokastro - cave of Konsolina, north of Paleokastro. 5 The sights of Kimolos include the picturesque windmills in Horio at the foot of Xaplovouni, as well as the Skiadi – a mushroom shaped rock, a geological formation that can accommodate forty people beneath it. It is listed under the Geological monuments of the Aegean. Beaches and trips Kimolos has beautiful beaches for swimming. An excellent idea is an excursion to the nearby islets of Polyegos and Agios Andreas, which have been declared areas of particular natural beauty. In the south cape of Polyegos, the small Kalogiri islets have impressive rock formations shaped by volcanic activity and wind erosion, a sight of rare beauty. Kimolos, Milos and the surrounding islets form a sea park of singular natural value. ONLY IN KIMOLOS In the sea, the presence of underwater fields of posidonia oceanica seaweed is of particular importance, since it enriches the sea with oxygen and constitutes an ideal natural environment for a large number of fish and invertebrate species. In the many sea caves along the coast, seals find refuge to rest and give birth. The total population of the species in this area is estimated at 43, of varying ages, excluding newborns. Northeast Kimolos and Polyegos, as well as the sea area surrounding the two islands, are included in the NATURA 2000 Network of the most important ecological areas in Europe. In 1999, the organisation 'Mom' proposed the establishment of a protected area under the name “National Sea Park of Kimolos”. Let's go to Anafi... Only a stone's throw away!!! 147
