Small and surprisingly informative for the size. The staff were passionate and knowledgeable and there is a small video you can watch about the a history of the sponge trade in this town. It was cool to learn about how important the sponge industry was and is for this town Certainly worth a visit, be sure to watch the video. Respect for these guys, unbelievable what they had to do to het these sponges. A unique experience in Kalymnian sea culture and sponge divers. Make time to watch the documentary and let Mr.Skevos to describe to you real stories from the past. Ps. Free entrance We had an amazing time at the museum. The tour guide explained us every bit of Kalymnian history with such passion and gave us really interesting insights about life on the island in the past. It was without a doubt one of our best experiences while traveling! You should definitely visit it! What a great way to spend your day, we visited a few days ago and it stands as one of our favourite activities! A small but very informative on the rich history the island has of collecting natural sea sponges as their main industry. Make sure to catch Mr. Skevos he's such a gem with so much knowledge, don't miss his tour! ♡ I would like to thank Skevos for taking the time to explain some of the many interesting artefacts displayed. He is a brilliant man and very passionate about the history of the island, particularly the sponge divers and the harsh realities they faced on their voyages. I would absolutely recommend visiting this museum, there is lots to see and plenty to learn about. It is free to enter, however, I would highly recommend leaving a donation in support if you are able to. We went to the without knowing anything about kalymnos and its history and we left feeling like experts! Skevos explained everything not only passionately and informative but also extemely funny and even though it was just pretend I will never forget him as my first husband :) Amazing museum! Small but compact. Free entrance. There is a 30min documentary on sponge diving. Mr. Skevos dedicated a lot of time to explain to us everything related to the topic. There is a small section also on folklore and the dresses of the time. Highly recommended!
