About Pserimos

Pserimos is a tiny island wedged between Kos and Kalymnos, best known for its wide sandy beach right by the small port village. Day-trip boats bring visitors from both larger neighboring islands, especially in summer, giving the beach a lively daytime buzz.

With only a handful of rooms and a resident population of a few dozen, Pserimos empties out again by late afternoon once excursion boats depart.

Tips

  • Come as a day trip from Kos or Kalymnos if you just want beach time; boats run regularly in summer.
  • Stay overnight to experience the island once day-trippers leave.
  • Pack snorkeling gear; the clear, shallow water off the main beach is great for it.
