Kimolos & Poliegos

A swim around Poliegos, then lunch by the water at Psathi on Kimolos. Six hours, two islands.

Kimolos & Poliegos
Photos: A La Mer

Kimolos sits right next to Poliegos, so after the swim stops you carry on across the water. A working island, chalk-white rock. You eat at the tavernas by the water at Psathi. A La Mer sell the two as one six-hour trip out of Platis Gialos, the one they list as their most popular. In 2026 it leaves at 08:00 or 14:30. From €1,150 for four people, €30 a head after that, seven at most.

What you'll see

The chalk and perlite rock Kimolos is named for, the harbour at Psathi, and the bays between the two islands.

Who it suits

Families, and anyone who wants a full day that is still easy. Swimming, then a taverna lunch, and the morning boat is back by two.

Good to know

Why combine Kimolos and Poliegos?

They sit side by side. One trip gives you the swimming at Poliegos and lunch on Kimolos with no long crossing in between.

Is there somewhere to eat on Kimolos?

Yes. Psathi, the port, has tavernas right by the water. That is where the boat stops for lunch.
