Kalas-Kalas

Top choice in Bornholm


The perfect island combination: great coffee, handmade ice cream the locals queue for, picture-perfect rocky coastline out the windows, and beanbags on the terrace for sunset cocktails. Ice-cream flavours come courtesy of local gardens and fields: elderflower, rhubarb, redcurrant, various berries. Ask here about boat trips and snorkelling tours run by the owners' sons (www.boatingbornholm.dk). Check the website for hours.
