"God used a sieve to create Kos and Kalymnos island.
Looking towards East, he used the good
and rich sieved earth, to create KOS island.
He threw to his backside, the rocks and the bit of earth remained in the sieve
to create KALYMNOS island."
This myth accurately describes the morphology of Kalymnos island. A lot of
rocky mountains with a bit of cultivated earth. This is the reason that Kalymnians work a lot
with the sea and became great rock builders, sailors and worldwide famous divers.
