Talk:Telendos

A beautiful little Island only 800 meters from Kalymnos. It can be reached by small boats from Kalymnos that run every half hour for a small charge. Its waterfront is filled with traditional Greek Tavernas serving traditional home cooked food. There is a beautiful church and many ruins (no charge is made). The beaches on the main side are calm and quiet with a naturists beach at the end ; but on the other side (only 200 mtrs away the sea is rough and fun to play in . The tavernas are plentiful with Georges being one of the best a family run hotel with many original recipies ( the best fried cheese anywhere and very dramatic ! ). Most have rooms to rent at a reasonable cost and you will always feel welcome. There are also trips by boat to Emporious from the Jetties at Telendos and Kalymnos .It's worth the trip just for the boat ride and marvel at how they built the little churches so high up the cliffs, and the dramatic scenery of both Islands as you sail gently up the channel skippered by Skevos. Telendos also has a resident artist Anneke (the skippers wife ) who specialises in telendos landscapes. Do'nt come here if you want noisy night life this a purly laid back Island where you do not wear a watch and do'nt conform to set meal times. Have a great time there for a day a week or longer . Once you've been here you wont want to leave . This is just a small sample of whats there BY John Jennings ( by the time you read this we will be living on Kalymnos visiting Telendos regulary to see our many friends .You wont miss us as we are the Maddos with the three Great Danes). Hope to see you there.
