Hello.
Three of us occasional posters are off to Kalymnos in May for a fortnight, for a bit of casual training.
Been doing a search of the forums and articles for tips on accommodation locations and dive locations, but didn't really find much.I see that the DeeperBlue July course recommends staying at Hotel Kandouni Beach, presumably this in the Kantouni area of the island and thus we should look to be staying around here? Any recommendations for lower cost apartments would be appreciate (we are a trio of cheapos and accommodation requirements are basic, and I've often found Greek mainland and island accommodation at about 8 Euros per night each for a share...)
I am hoping to get some climbing done to, and I gather that the climbing is centred around Massouri, which doesn't look too far. Would be simpler for us to stay near the freediving then perhaps I can bike up to Massouri with a rope and some quickdraws on my "dry" days
Incidentally, being a trio of cheapos, we got flights to Rhodes at £116 and will take the ferry from there. Kos was looking to be closer to £200, and I don't mind a few more hours on the ferry. Thought I'd mention that, might be useful.
Would of course be good to meet up with any other DeeperBlue folk out there
