The culturally rich destination of Pothia is a great choice if you’ve been considering a vacation with the kids. The island setting and museums are just a few things that make this the ideal place for a family vacation. Arrange a flight into Kalymnos (JKL-Kalymnos Island National), which is the closest airport, or Kos (KGS-Kos Island Intl.), which is located 11.8 mi (19 km) from the city center.
