Pserimos to Kalymnos is one of the shortest hops in the Dodecanese, taking somewhere between twenty and thirty minutes on the small local boats that work this stretch. ANEM and the Lafasi operation run it with the Olympios Ermis and the Hlias T., day-boats rather than car ferries, so you board on foot with your bag in hand. The channel is narrow and sheltered, and you are alongside at Pothia almost before you have settled.
Kalymnos is the sponge-diving island, and Pothia, its port and capital, wears that history openly. The harbour is ringed by a working town rather than a resort strip, with sponge workshops and shops near the waterfront and a rugged interior behind. Climbers know the island well, since the limestone walls above Massouri have made it an internationally recognised destination, and the beaches on the west coast stay quieter than those on neighbouring Kos.
The crossing runs roughly once a day through the season, and fares are low, starting around three euros. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. From Pothia you can pick up the larger Blue Star and catamaran services heading north towards Leros and Patmos or south towards Kos and Rhodes.
