About Kimolos
Kimolos sits just across a narrow strait from Milos, connected by a short local ferry, but feels far quieter and less developed. Like Milos, its geology is volcanic, with striking rock formations such as the mushroom-shaped Skiadi rock.
The Chora (Chorio) is a small fortified medieval settlement, and the Prassa hot springs on the northeast coast are a low-key natural attraction.
