Babis Bar

Kalymnos


This bar and restaurant serves up the usual suspects such as souvlakia and calamari. What sets it apart is its own pool, plus it's a great spot to watch the amazing sunset. There's also satellite TV showing sporting events. Conveniently, the bus from Pothia stops right outside.
