Vathy Fjord
Βαθύς
A narrow bay on the east side of the island that reaches deep inland. Steep cliffs line both sides, and at the far end lie a citrus orchard valley and the small harbor of Rina.
Vathy is the most fertile valley on Kalymnos, planted with citrus and olive trees. At the end of the valley, the small harbor of Rina is enclosed between steep stone walls, creating a fjord-like waterway with emerald water. You can dive from the pier or rent a small boat or kayak to explore the fjord. Nearby are sea caves that can be reached by boat. A few seafood eateries line the harbor, and the cliffs on both sides of the fjord have deep-water solo climbing routes. Vathy is about 8 km from Pothia, a 15-minute drive, and buses also run there.
