Pserimos: a wonderful island

Pserimos is also called «Kapari» … is a almost a dot of land in the blue Aegean sea located between Kos and Kalymnos.

Pserimos has a unique small seaside settlement, Avlakia, with less than 100 inhabitants and is a very special   destination for those seeking absolute tranquility.

Rhythms in Pserimos are slow and the  few inhabitants around 40 in winter are mainly engaged in fishing or during summer with tourism. 

You can reach Pserimos from Kalymnos with a small ferry daily at 09.30 in the morning and return at 17.00 if you just want to go for a day trip. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes.

From Kos during the summer months there are also several itineraries from port of Mastichari .

Many tourists choose to visit Pserimos just for one-day excursions   from the near by  larger islands.

Pserimos is ideal for quiet and simple vacations. It has accommodation options with   hotels and rooms to let and taverns with fresh fish and good food.

Visit the church of Panagia “Melachrini” (as the locals call it because of the dark color of the Russian style of image).

A great choice for accommodation with all amenities is the Hotel Pserimos Villas 22430-53017.

But there are also available simple rooms to let (630 rooms in the Island ).

After enjoying the sandy beach in Avlakia with the surrounding shops, you can follow the instructions on the map that you will find there to get to TREVATHIA , ROUSSA , VATHY or TAFOS where they used to make ceramics, while it is worth looking for MARATHONTA , the CROW or the SLIP .

In Pserimos you will relax and refresh your mind and you and you will be filled with beautiful images of the Aegean sea which are more reminiscent of older decades, those of the simple natural beauty that generously exists in our Greece.
