In brief
Its sparse population consists of sponge fishermen and their families. Its pretty beaches make it a wonderful place to relax. This tiny island lies to the southeast of Kalymnos and north of Kos and is about 6 n.m. (40 minutes) away from them. There is a small village in the harbour of the island. From there boats connect to Kalymnos on a daily basis. It is the perfect place for those seeking easygoing holidays, as there are nice beaches and also ruins of an ancient city.
General Information
It is also called Kapari probably because this plant (the caper) grows on the island or because according to another view, the name derives from the Italian capra (goat), as mentioned in nautical maps that fed on caper. Smaller islets like Plati, Krevati and Vasiliki surround the central island. On the island there are remnants of basilicas, which date back to the 5th century. Pserimos has only one settlement on its southwest side. Behind this settlement there are olive trees and pine trees.
