It is fairly small, with a land area of 36 square kilometres and a reported population of about 900 permanent residents. Kimolos is one of the lesser known Greek islands, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by those with a liking for simple, pure beauty and authentic character.

This rare hidden gem of the Cyclades is usually preferred by those who appreciate time away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist routes and heavily visited areas, while enjoying some of the finest beaches and crystal clear turquoise blue waters available across the Aegean Sea.

As a visitor here you will have a rare chance to experience the authentic pace of Greek island living, which remains mostly unaltered even during the busiest summer months and unaffected by mass tourism. Kimolos belongs to western Cyclades region, and is connected to nearby islands and the Piraeus port of Athens via a year-round ferry, as well as a catamaran which however only runs during the tourist season. Transport via the neighboring island of Milos is also available and fairly frequent.
