   Kalymnos

   A Dodecanese island between Kos and Leros with 17,752 inhabitants at the 2021 census, third most populous of the group. Sponge diving made its fortune, and the limestone cliffs above Masouri have since made it one of Europe's best-known climbing destinations.

   Monastery of Saint John the Theologian

   A fortified Orthodox monastery founded in 1088 on the hill above Chora, holding a library of some thirteen thousand documents and one of the finest collections of Byzantine icons in Greece. It looks like a castle because Aegean piracy made that necessary.
