With pride, we present a rich, authentic, and deeply moving program that connects the past with the present and builds bridges toward the future.
We invite everyone to take part and experience with us the unique spirit of the Sponge Festival — our own cultural summer.
The 3rd Sponge Festival “Dirlada” is here, filling Kalymnos with culture, history, music, dance, and emotion!
🗓 From July 20 to August 20
📍 All across the island – from Chora to Vlychadia and Rina
🎭 Events, concerts, historical reenactments, honey festivals, exhibitions, and sports activities
We honor our sponge divers, revive memory, and celebrate the Kalymnian soul.
