Massouri is a small seaside town on the western coast of the Greek island of Kalymnos. The settlement is located about 9-10 km north-west of the island's capital, Potia, and just 1 km from the resort town of Myrtyes.
Today Massouri is one of the most popular resort centers of Kalymnos. The crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, excellent beaches, picturesque rocky mountains surrounding the resort, on the lower slopes of which, like an amphitheater, are located traditional white houses literally immersed in greenery, as well as a well-developed infrastructure annually attract thousands of tourists from all over the world to Massouri. Here you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay - a good selection of accommodation (hotels, apartments and rooms for rent in different price categories), excellent restaurants and taverns with excellent local cuisine, cozy cafes and bars, shops, markets and a lot of entertainment.

You can diversify your vacation with a trip to the small rocky island of Telendos, which lies directly opposite Massouri. Pleasure boats leave from the port of Myrtjes (journey takes about 10 minutes).
You will get a lot of pleasure by visiting the sights of the city of Potia - the Archaeological, Ethnographic and Maritime Museums, the Monastery of St. Sava, the Church of Christ the Savior, etc. However, it is worth visiting the famous Chora citadel - a medieval walled city, which is an important historical and architectural monument.
