It is very easy to get from the airport in Kos to the hotel in Kalymnos. Here is how it works:

1. You arrive at the airport in Kos. From here, you either take a bus (2 euro pr. person) or a taxi (15 euro pr. taxi) to Mastichari. It will be enough to say "Kalymnos" to the taxi driver or bus driver.
2. You buy a ticket (8 euro pr. person) and get on the ferry. The trip takes 20-40 minutes depending on whether you are on the fast or slow ferry.
3. When you arrive at Kalymnos you either take a bus (2 euro pr. person) or a taxi (15 euro pr. taxi) to Hotel Elies in Panormos.
If you are in doubt about anything, you can always call the hotel or Bering Travel.

It is possible to get a diving licence on this trip. In that case, please note that the included dives are cancelled and replaced by a 3-5 day PADI Open Water course, which includes 4 pool dives and 4 open water dives.

If you want to take a diving certificate on your trip, you can opt for it when you book.

Here you can read our guide to diving certification.

The course is divided into three phases

• Theory - You learn the basic principles of diving
• Confined Water dives - You'll make your first dives in a safe environment (e.g. a swimming pool or shallow water). You'll be trained in basic techniques.
• Open Water dives - You'll make your first four dives in the ocean. Here you use the techniques you learnt in the previous confined water dives.

Upon completion, you'll receive an official PADI Open Water certification that you can use to have amazing diving experiences for the rest of your life anywhere in the world.

In order to take the diving licence, you must have completed this document. The rule is that if you can answer no to everything on page 1, you do not need to see a doctor. If you can answer yes to something, then you need to see a doctor and the doctor needs to complete and sign page 2.

On this tour breakfast is not included in the price. There are a lot of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

We've included full equipment rental in the base price of your trip.

We recommend taking out travel insurance that covers at least illness, accident, repatriation, lost holiday, luggage and liability. As a customer, you are responsible for taking out the necessary travel insurance to cover these costs.

Before taking out insurance, you should check whether you are already covered by travel or cancellation insurance through your home insurance company, credit card or similar - please note that there may be differences in insurance coverage.
