The Kalymnos Trail, a multi-day trekking route around Kalymnos, was established in 2015. As it winds its way around the island, it follows most of the existing 'classic' paths but also rediscovers many exciting old shepherds' trails. The route visits all parts of the island and can be done as a continuous hike or as a series of 10 full-day or half-day sections. The Trail visits mountain tops and monasteries, cliffs and castles, beaches and Byzantine ruins. The scenery encountered displays an unforgettable combination of sea, sun and rugged limestone peaks.

"We have received a report that the route ‘Bridging’ at Piccalia in the Arginonta Skyline Sector has had some loose blocks removed. We caution climbers to take care until it has fully cleaned up. Thanks to Marco Rossi and team from Switzerland for the report and helping to clean some of the loose blocks from the route."
