Kimolos
Kimolos is a Cycladic island that seems to have remained unchanged over the years. Kimolos, an island almost untouched by the human hand, an island with countless natural beauties, has become the refuge of the monachus monachus seal but also of many other rare species. Life in Kimolos is simple and days go by peacefully and beautifully. There’s no intense nightlife on the island and this is what makes Kimolos stand out from the rest of the touristic islands of Cyclades. However, you will find rooms to let, little taverns, a few bars and adorable locals who will, joyfully, welcome you to their island. The local dishes are excellent but most importantly, all products of the island are very fresh. You can visit the Archaeological Museum of Kimolos, the Castle of the island, go diving and explore the island as well. The snow white houses in Kimolos, the scenic alleys, the beautiful beaches, the good food, the relaxed way of life and the hospitable locals will impress and enchant you. If you too want to spend unforgettable holidays in Kimolos, all you have to do is book your ferry tickets now.

Ferry Tickets
You can now book ferry tickets online for Kimolos via Aktoploika.gr. If you plan to travel during July and August, it’s best if you have booked several days or weeks earlier to avoid hitches. You should also know that round-trip/return ferry tickets come with a considerable discount.
Transportation
The only bus of the island, which brings to mind old black and white movies, departs from Hora for the port and vice versa. It is, of course, easy to get to Hora on foot as well, since the distance is small and although the road is a bit upward, it is not steep. There are also taxis that will take you to the more distant beaches but also sea taxis for the more distant and steep beaches. In Kimolos there are no motorbike or car rental agencies so if you want to have a vehicle, you should travel in your own, although moving around in it will be quite difficult as the alleys are small and narrow.
Happy Holidays in Kimolos!!!
