The Paros to Kimolos ferry is one of those routes that takes you from a well-known Cycladic hub to a quieter, less-visited corner of the archipelago.

- Kos is the second major hub in the Dodecanese; several routes connect Kos to nearby islands such as Kalymnos, Leros, and Patmos.
- In Kimolos, the main settlement of Horio at the foot of Mt Ksaplovouni enchants with its Cycladic simplicity and a castle at its heart. The island’s volcanic origins give the landscape a distinctive character, with grey-white rocks rising from crystal-clear waters that the Venetians once called ‘silvery’.
