Kalymnos is unique as being a purely seafaring island with a long tradition of diving, boat building and trading. Being a fairly barren island it has little agriculture, consequently there are few established villages (Vathi being an exception.

The main population lives in town during the winter, and during the summer months migrates to the various holiday resorts around the island.

The town features Italian architecture, a silver-domed cathedral dedicated to Jesus (Christos), and the Monastery of St. Savas, perched on a hilltop overlooking the town.

Sponge diving is a traditional occupation in Kalymnos, with related exhibitons, along with other local folklore, at three local museums. Kalymnos is neighboured by the small island of Telendos, which was part of Kalymnos, but after a major earthquake c.1500 was split and separated from Kalymnos by a strip of water (about 800m wide) Earthquakes are a frequent occurrence around Kalymnos. There is also a dormant volcano in the centre of the island near the town of Kadoumni.

Kalymnos is one of the Dodecanese islands located in the Aegean Sea. It is very close to Kos and five hours away by boat from Rhodes, the largest of the twelve islands. Kalymnos also is very close to Leros from the north part
