Where should you stay in Kimolos?
Kimolos, a beautiful Greek island, is home to a few delightful villages, each with its unique charm.
Before presenting the complete 2023 list of the best hotels in Kimolos, I will like to say a few quick things about accommodation on Kimolos Island:
- Chorio (Chora): The capital and main village of Kimolos is Chorio. It’s a charming traditional Greek village with white stone houses, narrow alleyways, and blooming flowers There are a number of accommodations here, including guest houses, hotels, and rooms for rent. It’s a good place to stay if you want to be close to restaurants, cafés, and shops.
- Psathi: Psathi is the main port of Kimolos and has several accommodations and tavernas. The beach is easily accessible from here, and you can find boats to the nearby island of Milos. The village also boasts some traditional architecture.
- Aliki: Aliki is a great choice if you’re looking for tranquilityand it’s an ideal spot for those who want to relax by the sea. There are limited accommodations in Aliki, so booking in advance is recommended.
- Goupa: Goupa is another seaside village, known for its “syrmata” – boat garages that fishermen have carved into the rock, painted in bright colors.
- Karras: Karras is aa good choice for those seeking peace and quiet, away from the main tourist areas.
Remember, the best place to stay on Kimolos Island depends on your personal preferences. If you want more options for dining and shopping, Chorio would be a good choice. If you’re seeking a quiet beachside holiday, Aliki or Goupa might be more suitable.

So, our list with the best hotels in Kimolos and also the most affordable for 2023 begins with….. (the order is, of course, random!)
The Elephant Beach House – Sirmata Goupa
This place is really unique and special. It is located in Sirmata, a very small and picturesque cove. It is a former fisherman’s house transformed into a beautiful, environmentally friendly room. The room itself is beautiful and clean and has all of the comforts of a hotel room.
Let me highlight here that you need a car or scooter to get there (steep drive down/climb up), and there are no shops, bars, or restaurants within walking distance. But this also means that it is very peaceful and quiet. More Information Here!
