In the village you will find restaurants, cafes, shops, car rental companies, bakers and climbing schools for mountain enthusiasts, ampng other things. Exactly opposite of Masouri, less than 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) away, the islet Telendos is located. The view across the strait between Kalymnos and Telendos is breathtaking. Other popular beaches near Masouri are Myrties and Panormos (Linaria and Kantouni).
