Experience this spot in Mirties. Great spot for kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Mirties is located on the island of Kalymnos in the Southern Aegean region of Greece. The area is characterized by its rugged coastline and rocky terrain, dotted with small settlements and villages. The stunning scenery includes steep cliffs rising up from the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, with views of nearby islands such as Kos and Leros in the distance. The landscape is dominated by craggy mountains and rocky outcroppings, interspersed with patches of greenery and small beaches. Mirties itself is a small fishing village with colorful houses and narrow alleys leading down to the harbor. The area is popular with hikers and climbers due to its challenging terrain and dramatic vistas.
