Kimolos & Poliegos
The popular pairing: a swim day around wild Poliegos, then Kimolos for a long lunch by the water.
Once you've swum around Poliegos, it's only natural to carry on to Kimolos across the water. It's the gentler half of the pair — a working island of chalk-white rock, with Psathi's tavernas waiting at the end of a long day in the sea. A La Mer pair the two on a single trip, the most popular way out of Platis Gialos.

What you'll see

Who it suits
Anyone wanting a full but easy day — swimming, a taverna lunch, and two islands in one trip. Good for families.
Good to know
Why combine Kimolos and Poliegos?
They sit side by side, so one trip covers wild swimming at Poliegos and a relaxed lunch on Kimolos without a long crossing.
Is there somewhere to eat on Kimolos?
Yes — Psathi, the port, has tavernas right by the water, the usual lunch stop on this trip.
