If you’re looking for a genuine and relaxing destination for your next family vacation, we believe that the small and lesser known island of Kimolos could be the perfect choice. Full of charm, it’s a corner of Greece still untouched by mass tourism, offering you wonderful moments amidst unspoiled landscapes and peaceful beaches.
Kimolos is perfect for all ages because everyone will find something special to do. The beaches are never too crowded, and there aren’t many accommodations since the island is small and frequented mainly by regular visitors. This means there will be space for everyone without feeling packed. With fine white sand or small pebbles, clean and crystal-clear waters, and a sea in countless shades of turquoise, it’s the ideal setting for a day at the beach where children can build sandcastles while adults enjoy well-deserved relaxation, soaking in the Greek sun.
Activities in Kimolos range from exploring the ancient ruins of the Venetian Castle in the center of Chorio, where you can imagine battles and knights in its labyrinthine streets, to trekking through green hills and rocky coasts with breathtaking views. You can also take a lovely excursion to the island of Polyaigos, a nature reserve accessible only by sea, where you can swim in its Caribbean like waters and feel like the last person on Earth or a modern day Robinson Crusoe. For something less demanding, there’s always good old snorkeling so don’t forget your flippers, snorkel, and mask. Alternatively, you can kayak along the coast in search of hidden coves for moments of complete privacy.
Kimolos remains authentically tied to its culture, which is also reflected in its cuisine, featuring simple yet ancient recipes made with local ingredients. Try the “ladenia,” a type of pizza made with Kimolos olive oil and tomatoes it’s a real treat!
Kimolos is the perfect choice for a family vacation because of its disarming simplicity. Here, you’ll have the chance to strengthen your bonds, with time moving slower but in a special way. It’s a place where you can disconnect from everything, reconnect with nature, and realize how many things are superfluous in everyday life. Greek hospitality, fun, and relaxation await you, with a slower pace that will help you appreciate the moments spent together even more.
