Due to the island’s mild climate and plenty rainfall the soil is quite fertile, ideal for growing vegetables and fruit. The island produces a special type of cucumbers, which are small and crispy round cucumbers with stripes that sweeten as they ripe. The prickly pears locally produced have an exquisite flavor and aroma. You should also try in your salad the capers the island produces.
Fresh pasta is among Kimolian traditional products and it can be found not only for buying but also for trying in most of the island’s restaurants and tavernas.
And like the majority of Greek countryside, do not forget to try the Kimolian honey. It is indeed of excellent quality nad exceptional flavor.
Kimolos is also known for the fresh local meat, used to prepare many traditional Greek dishes.
