Information On KimolosKimolos is part of Cyclades and it is right next to Milos island, from which it is just one kilometer away. Kimolos is a typical island of Cyclades with its north part being wild and rocky, and its south part more flat and mild. The island is named after chalk (kimolia in Greek), as its volcanic soil is rich in limestone and chalk, which it still exports even today. Kimolos has a very clean sea and it is no coincidence that in this area lies the largest population of the Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus Monachus). It is also not by chance that Kimolos was voted best destination in Greece for 2010 by the contest "I Love GR" of Skai channel. Kimolos has remained unaffected by tourism, mainly thanks to the presence of the nearby larger island of Milos which has outshined Kimolos. On the island there is a gas station and an ATM machine.
