In brief
Telendos is situated opposite the village of Mirties on the island of Kalymnos. It takes a small boat from Mirties to get there, yet the “braves” are swimming to it. Actually it's nothing more than one rock in the sea with a beach in the front; an ideal day-trip destination!

General Information
If you desire peace and tranquility on holiday combined with real Greek hospitality and food and a more traditional style, then this could be the place for you.
This tiny island has one village and no roads - you walk everywhere - if you can't find a donkey!
It also has 4 beautiful pebble beaches with little sand - ideal for snorkeling. It is a bit of a walk to the small rocky coves but worth it when you get there....

Separated by a channel only 700 meters wide, it was united with its larger neighbor until 535 AD. Though completely barren, it does have wonderful beaches with clear water on its west coast; which are still pretty quiet. Its few inhabitants all live in the tiny fishing village across from Mirties. A caique ferries people back and forth between the two.
Sightseeing Even though Telendos is only a small island it has an
abundance of churches. Set on the rocky coastline is Agios Georgios -
the church of St George so called due to the legend that behind the
church lies the horse hoof marks in the rock said to be St George's
steed.For the more energetic ones, there's the walk to Agios Konstantinos to consider. Set high on Mount Raki, it's about an hour and a half walk and a bottle of water or two are essential.
Beaches
There are some beautiful beaches on Telendos on which to
relax and soak up the sun. The cleanest and nicest bays are those of Pnigmenos, Chochlakas and Potha. Idyllic coves with crystal clear water ideal for
swimming and snorkeling. Potha Beach is also a step into the past as
there are the ruins of a village house. The next beach along is the
beautiful Paradise Beach.
