Entrepreneurship on Kalymnos which is at it's best

Several coffee shops, restaurants and mini markets have opened during 2017 in Kalymnos. The big tumble-down hotel at the end of Massouri is being renovated and within some weeks a new climbing shop is opening up in this area. Although, Ryan Air reduced their flights in 2016 and will in 2017 stop flying to Kos, the entrepreneurship is booming on the island. During 2016, the number of climbers dropped some 20 % and although it seems less climbers have traveled to the island 2017, the number of climbers remain the same as more non-European visitors seem to stay longer periods. One reason for the growing entrepreneurship might be that they hope that the new owner of the airport in Kos, who will increase its capacity, will bring in more flights starting 2018. The municipality is trying to get more funding for rebolting and also improving the paths. Overall, Kalymnos is at it's best with 3 000 routes and not so many climbers so it just might be that this autumn it might be that you could get the peak. Here is an old 8a article.
